And NT > in a lot of places fits that bill to a T Actually I would advice the original poster to try out samba+linux on one of the machines, just install it well and the management will now know anything, it will be all transparent for them. Just migrate first a small NT server box to linux and see its performance if you like it you can tell your boss that "It is not running xp, but linux and it is stable and we will save thousands of dollars for licensing if we use linux" then when he is happy you can slowly migrate the other boxes. Go ahead and install linux and samba+swat, you can use the swat(samba web administration tool) to easily setup your printer and shares for the box).
