[gentoo-user] Gentoo as a Windows server replacement (Active Directory/Exchange/File server integration)

[Mark Shields]

In today's economy, more and more clients are looking for low cost
alternatives to Windows servers.  I recently pitched the idea of offering
linux-based servers to our clients as replacements for Windows Servers.
 I've checked out Redhat Directory Server and installed that, though having
some trouble with it; no doubt I'll figure it out.  I'm concerned with Samba
and Zimbra integration into Redhat Directory Server.  All the documentation
I've found points to people setting it up on RHEL or CentOS, and none on
Gentoo.  Anyone have any experience with this?

I've been using Gentoo for 5 years on and off for servers mainly, so I'm
fairly familiar with how it works.  If anyone has any tips on how to
proceed, I would greatly appreciate it.
