[opensuse-edu] Linux and support for Active Directoy

Greetings, List.

We are a school district which uses MS windows and Mac OS X for all of its'
workstations. I am considering using a Linux distro for some desktops, but
there are requirements which must be met in order for use inside our district.

In particular, the Active Directory supplied Home Folder must be used for all
logins.

In our case, we have a home folder server for each building. All users are
assigned a server via the Active Directory Home Folder entry, and this
directory should be the one used for the user's home folder, no matter what
server they are connecting to.

I am looking for a Linux distribution that does this correctly, and without
much re-writing of the PAM scripts. From the looks of things, OpenSUSE might be
the right choice. Would somebody be so kind to point me in the direction of
documentation on how to do this?

Also, I'm curious on how others on this list are imaging their computers. What
software are you using?

Thanks for any input.
