It would be great if a home server such as Amahi could provide an easy setup for a mixed linux / windows network at home. ''Without'' too much hassle (e.g. synchronising account databases, winbind...). Upon release of Fedora 18 - Spherical Cow I much hoped that would be easy and intended to convert my home debian server to fedora and use it as an AD (Active Directory) PDC (Primary Domain Controller) server . The big gain would be a possibility to set up a single login for home/small office users to access shared resources (e.g. files or printers) without being explained at length that you in fact have two passwords, how come when you change your windows password you have to change it on linux too, without needing to explain how you access shares differently on each computer etc.

What I am going to try to do as an [http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/m/miltonfrie382646.html interim] prototype is to compile samba with AD PDC 4 from sources on an Amahi capable server and then use Fedora 18 and XP computers as clients. Once such set-up is well documented and repeatable, then it would be possible for to think how the process can be integrated with Amahi. This page will be updated with the progress and your comments and suggestions, or messages to me are very welcome.
