Many people do not work on an an ALL-Windows network
anymore.  Disruptive technologies like Linux are successfully
penetrating the SMB markets in addition to the enterprise.
However, likewise, one cannot say they work in an ALL-Linux
or ALL-Unix or ALL-<whatever> shop.  Today's companies use
many tools, including OS's, in order to to business.

The presentation in May will focus on how to create a more
seamless work environment across disparate Operating Systems.
It focuses primarily on allowing a Windows XP client that
is authenticated to a Windows Domain to reach Linux and/or
Unix hosts without passwords, however seamlessness will also
be shown (as much as it is possible) for clients using Linux/Unix.

At the heart of this solution is Linux.  Linux is the
source of integration across disparate OS's.  The
presentation will cover how Linux is used to handle key
infrastructure pieces to make the whole Single Sign On
concept a reality.
