South Birmingham College FE use Linux as their backend authentication, and for 
all their file and print and applications deliver. (or at least they did last 
time i visited).  They have a very sophisticated setup across multiple sites 
and 10,000+ users.  Using LDAP for the user accounts and authenticating against 
SAMBA, automatic imaging of desktops on boot, remote application deployment, .. 
etc all on open source  

The CS manager there is Alan Benson [alan [at] sbirmc.ac.uk] , who has always seems 
happy to help, at least on the win2k jisc mailing list.  I would heartily 
recommend giving them a visit, for any medium to large organisation looking to 
migrate a Windows NOS environment to Linux / Samba / LDAP .. as their setup was 
impressive.
