I'm taking that as "yes" you can run a SAMBA server as a Windows PDC,
but there's really no point because you still need Windows Server 2nnn
to host the active directory.
I have 6 physical machines I would like to network.
* OS X Snow Leopard on late model iMac.
* OS X Snow Leopard on newish Macbook.
* Dual boot: OS X Snow Leopard/Vista on late model Macbook.
* Ubuntu 9.10 desktop (favorite computer) on older Dell Inspiron.
* Ubuntu 9.10 netbook (used as an e-reader) on HP.
* Ubuntu 9.10 host/Win7 guest/XP guest on Lenovo desktop (possible new
favorite computer).
What are some options?
