I wasn't actually concluding that the tools I'm looking for didn't exist outside the MS world; I was saying that I had been unable to find good information about Linux equivlants of the MS components I'm used to using.
You are correct in that I'm somewhat of a Linux newbie. I'm not completely outside the Linux, loop though. My home network is based around a Mandrake Linux box running Samba, Currier-IMAP, Squirrelmail with a number of pluggins, CUPS, and several other great tools. In that environment I've been able to replicate about half of the services I depend on at work. Another problem I would like to overcome is the time it takes to manage the environment; my home network is much more time intensive to manage than my work environment.
I'd also like to say "thanks" to the people who have provided constructive comments and information here; I've more tools to research now.
