SAMBA (Domain Controller) Server For Small Workgroups With Ubuntu 5

My laptop is due it's annual repave (Windows now takes seven minutes to boot to the desktop!) - it's no slouch - Dell Latitude with two gigs of RAM and a 2Ghz mobile P4 - I'm also planning to have Ubuntu as my dual-boot option. People are always asking me what I'd recommend and up until now Suse or Gnopix would have been my suggestion but Ubuntu is getting good crits.
Anyhow - here is an article doing the walkthrough on replacing your Windows domain controller - interestingly they say a single machine is good for "small" networks of less than two-hundred users. I wonder how well a Windows PDC deals with that number?
