Re: [ilugd] Samba, AD and Windows clients
Is it possible to completely replace the active directory and primary and secondary domain controllers in a Winduhs network with one or more Linux boxes? Excuse my vast ignorance of Winduhs, but do you need both a PDC and AD, or are they mutually exclusive? How about encryption and stuff? And integration with OpenLDAP? Yes it is possible. Samba can act as domain controller. There is documentation on Samba web site. No, don't need both, Secondary is a backup of primary in case primary became unavailable for some reason. I have used Winbind (part of Samba) and Kerberos encryption to authenticate Linux box with Windows AD server (documents on Samba web site) but should be possible to do it with OpenLDAP.

Re: [ilugd] dimdim anyone?
dimdim is a sophisticated web-conferencing solution, under gpl, but also under various other licenses: http://www.dimdim.com/opensource/dimdim_gpl.html looks like it's geared to take on webex, adobe, and everybody else in the web-conf arena. For the record, the facility to display the screen of the presenter at the moment is available only for Internet Exporer and for Firefox on windows. That limits its use for FOSS demos.
