Hi Alan!

 That is why I'm here too... Forget about Windows. I do not have any
Windows in my entire company and I'll never have it. Windows is almost
useless.

 This "Ubuntu Enterprise" "description" is terrible... Windows?! Are you
guys serious?! Come on!! I just LOL a lot when I read it!! What a joke.
Shame on you guys.

 Ubuntu and Debian needs only one thing to grow better within enterprise
environments: *OpenLDAP fully integrated within the distribution
itself.* Nothing
more, nothing less.

 So, I'm here to help achieve this... For example:

 When I run: "adduser username"

 This command should add a user by default in OpenLDAP, not in /etc/shadow
- /etc/passwd files.

 That's it!

 There is two awesome examples that we can learn from:
Zimbra<http://www.zimbra.com>and
Kollab <http://www.kolab.org/>. Both solutions makes extensible use of
OpenLDAP. That is what we need to do.

 Also, Ubuntu Desktop "*User Accounts*" app under "System Settings" MUST
read and write those informations IN OpenLDAP.

Best!
Thiago
