So, before you even get started with a GNU/Linux network it seems to really
be effective you need to have the following.

And, it's still not that easy to set up and configure. But it is getting easier.
I just did a little digging on what is out there.

NTP

Kerberos
http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3329

A Directory Server
http://directory.apache.org/

And configure them.

And then, you have to get your services integrated into them such as Samba,
email, etc.

"There are two ways of constructing a software design. One way is to
make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies. And the other
way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies."
