Centrify... Group Policy for Mac (and more)
March 31, 2008 By J. Peter Bruzzese (NetworkWorld)
What is Centrify ? Well, only the coolest companies to come along in years!

I got Active Directory working with Linux - so surely it should be possible to repeat the process on a system with BSD Linux at the core? Yes, as it happens, it is.

Can Macs conquer the enterprise? The time is ripe ...
January 11, 2008 By Robert L. Mitchell (ComputerWorld)
Apple is the undefeated king of cool in the consumer electronics and home computer markets. It is rapidly gaining yardage in the broader personal computing market and is experiencing a resurgence of popularity in traditional Macintosh niches such as education, marketing and creative departments.
