The real good news is that we don't have any Windows servers in the
place at all.  We run Netware for file/print and Linux pretty much
everywhere else.  No, I repeat, no windows servers.  At least for now.  

I know this is getting off-topic, but I work for a small private
University and we're looking at replacing our centralized database app.
Most apps now that fill the areas we are examining run on MSSQL.  I
haven't found any open-source equivalent that I would consider mature
enough for our purposes.
