Note: Firfox does not wrap the line so I introduced hard breaks
copy them to the same line:

Understanding ADO Search Filters in LDAP Queries

Slightly off topic: You may also want to check out http://www.openldap.org and http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Architecture .

Combine this with http://Openfiler.org, http://samba.org, http://www.xorp.org, http://www.postgres.org, http://www.mysql.org and http://www.opennms.org/wiki/, We should all be well-rounded network experts.

I know we are still a big MS shop but a lot of this stuff is platform neutral (to a degree) and are freely available.

For those who want to mess with RHEL there are 2 very good Redhat Clones out there: http://www.centos.org and https://www.scientificlinux.org/ .

You might as well skip Fedora. For desktops, I like Centos, Memphis and Knoppix.
