equivalent?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I'm working on a project for my Associate's Degree, in which my group has
been given a hypothetical company with heavily outdated hardware, and a crappy
budget with which to improve the situation. In the interest of saving lots of
our budget from licensing costs, we are going with a Linux environment. We
pretty much know for a fact is that the people we present this to are going to
grill us on all kinds of things, because we will be the first group to break
away from a Microsoft environment. The main item that we don't have a
ready answer to is Active Directory. Are there any equivalent features
for an all-Linux network, and how do they compare with AD? </DIV>
