I've installed this version on 3 different machines, using the CDs, and
so far everything has worked well.  (Of course that's no excuse for the
dvd not working....)  My only problems were difficulties with pam_mount
and that samba changed a default value that screwed up my AD
authentication.

winbind enum users
and
winbind enum groups
both used to default to "yes", but now default to "no"
