I am running an all-mac setup in my office and it is really important that my employees be able to login to any computer in the office and have their account settings, emails, files, etc. "roam" with them.

I am using local network accounts with the home directories saved on the server.

My question is this- is there any alternative to using Mac server for this? Can I use a linux server and have that be my network account server? Is there anything I can do hear to accomplish what I want without having to use the Apple solution? I keep hearing about how local network accounts are not "as supported" as they used to be or things like that...

Any thoughts and opinions are appreciated.
