So far all of the "requirements" say NAS, basically just a file server. I have one here, it's a whitebox system, running ClarkConnect (linux based SMB solution www.clarkconnect.org). I have that system as an NIS master, NFS server, Samba PDC, and SMB server. No matter what system I log into I get the same set of data, you must use the automounter, and tell NIS that your homedir is on one of the NFS mounted directories, but I get my "profile" all there, my email, Gnome and KDE configs, etc are all there.
Does that sound like what you want?
