It does build cleanly from source on RHEL5 (although it takes a
gawd-awful amount of CPU to do it -- *definitely* don't do this during
the day if you don't have CPU to burn). 

As to what it does, it's basically an integrated LDAP server that makes
things like replicating from Active Directory and gives you Linux based
management tools for the environment, so the Linux and Windows
environment can get along better. The tools are still a bit flaky in
places, but it's got lots of docs and seems to work OK. 

At some point, it'd probably be worth creating an appliance out of this
thing as an integration point to ease transition to Linux-based
environments.
