[clue-tech] hard to make a linux DC?

[Mike Bean]

I know I don't technically need a DC for name resolution, I need it for the
software itself.  It'll actually query to make sure the login used to
install it is member of a domain.   I noticed an email about the installfest
yesterday, I'll probably try to come!
