I use linux now for a virus server, a backup server... but never my main dns,dhcp, logon servers.

Linux with Samba can act as an NT Domain controller. It can also act as a DNS server and DHCP. Are you looking to add a Linux server or replace the Windows 2000 servers?

I have heard that the new release of Samba will allow it to interact with a Windows 2000 domain, but I haven't tried it.
