On a related note, anyone notice that Samba 4.0 has finally been
released? This means that before long the architectural ports will
filter into linux distros and we'll be able to run modern fully
compatible Active Directory DC's (with SMB2/3, Group Policy,
replication, etc) on stuff as weird and diverse as S390, Power, MIPS,
Arm and any other supported hardware platforms, which is pretty cool. I
don't know if anyone would actually want to do that mind you, but it's
always nice to have options, even if they're a bit strange.

I saw that the other day, I'm interested in having a play with it for some of the AD specific features on Windows (and not having the expense of a Windows Server). It's one of those things though that I'll look at eventually, for now at home at least Samba 3 is doing the job nicely. :-)
