I've setup a samba PDC with roaming profiles on my laptop. The profile is about 600MB, but using the tricks listed on this page, my profile is about 28MB now... it's not too bad, considering what I started out with and the ntuser.dat file being 21MB. I still need to tweak each application to make sure that each program saves to the "Application Data" directory. I'll do it even if I have to email the authors of each utlity/application.

This is a detailed description about the steps to set up a Ubuntu based server (Ubuntu 5.10 - Breezy Badger) to act as file- and print server for Windows ™ workstations in small workgroups. This howto uses the tdb backend for SAMBA to store passwords and account information. This is suitable for workgroups for up to 250 users and is easier to setup than an LDAP backend.
