Is this possible?

[BDillon21]

Hello all,

I did some searching on the web and was unable to find what I was looking for, so I thought I would check here.

Is it possible for a RedHat Linux 7.3 client to join a NT 4.0 domain?
If so, do you know of any good reading material that would help a Linux newbie do this?
I just introduced myself to Linux and so far I really like it. I would love Linux to replace all of my Windows machines but untill I can figure out how to make it join the domain I will not be able to do this.

Also, I have been having trouble trying to get Linux to work with my laptop's docking station. Really the only problem I have is the external display. After the computer boots the screen goes blank. Anyone have any ideas on what this might be?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Check these links out; you should be able to use smbclient (which should be included with the SAMBA package on your CD) to access disk shares & print to printer attached to server. You could even setup your Linux box as BDC for your domain....:)

Oh...almost forgot....

Your laptop may not have the correct X server for that display. Did you set it up using a different display? If so, reattach display you used for setup, change startup runlevel to "3" (multiuser command prompt with networking), switch back to display you want to use, reboot, su and run "Xconfigurator" to set up that display.
