Jon - thanks for this superb link, it looks like it'll fit the bill well...
Now, I have a follow-on question to put to the group: I've got to roll a Linux server that'll house the user accounts, run SAMBA and NIS, plus handle the automounting of the user account to other machines. This server will "talk" to a set of Solaris and AIX systems. My inclination is to roll CentOS for this job. My reasoning is that it's a well-supported distro, has all the pieces-parts "stock" in the distro, and updates and bug fixes come along at a reasonable pace while the basic distro itself has a good, commercially acceptable life cycle. While Ubuntu or other Debian variants might have their strengths, going with something Red-Hat based might be more advantageous while giving me a measure of appeal to the higher-ups (who may already be familiar with RedHat-type-OS's from the positive press). Any other thoughts from the group on this topic?
