Fedora VM as a PDC


Hey,

I currently run Windows Server 2008 at my office, but I'm looking to test Samba as a PDC for future reference/consulting work. Before I go and try to configure Samba, I wanted to ask if anyone can think of pitfalls I would run into and perhaps recommend a better setup:
  • <10 PCs running either Windows XP, Vista, or 7.
  • VirtualBox running Debian (planning on swapping for Fedora) on a Windows XP Home computer.
  • Computers are connected to a large switch, which is connected to a wireless router. The Windows server doesn't employ ICS (essentially is just a $1500 PDC ).

Any suggestions are welcome. Also, does anyone know where I could find a .ovm format image of a windows server installation? I'm guessing vmware would work in this regard, but I'm not fond of using purposely crippled software.

Forget the other questions, then. Does anyone know if they have OS images for vm players other than VMWare? Where could I find these?
