Barely. First impressions are that it's got a nice desktop (but then I 
prefer kde which RL uses), and at least basic tools/utils/inet 
progs/office type progs are present. The automatic samba setup isn't 
near as intuitive as one might hope. The big trick there is that if you 
want the RL machine to be able to "reside" in a specific 
workgroup/domain, you have to name the box with the right .extension, 
ala "bob.domainname" during the install. This allows one to use the 
network browser to grab the master browse list just like MS network 
neighborhood, although accessing any of the listed resources/servers is 
still iffy.

Looks like the samba client would need some serious tweaking in order 
for it to use NT DC's for authentication, which let's face it is what 
will probably be necessary for widespread linux desktop infiltration 
into windows networks.

Like I said, pretty preliminary stuff. I'm going to try the latest 
release (43) and see what changed.
