The documentation for Samba 3 should be roughly similar. Be aware that there are many pitfalls when using roaming profiles: workstations should be very similar if not identical in setup and software; Outlook Express kills roaming profiles; learn how to redirect certain paths to network drives so they don't need to be sync'd with roaming profiles; etc.
When you upgrade to Samba 3, you will find this documented in the The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide, http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ The section you will wish to read is Chapter 26 (Desktop Profile Management). http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ProfileMgmt.html Next time, PLEASE read the fine manual before posting a question with well-documented answers.
