I'm curious about network administration.  We have one Power Book on the 'net
now;  and surprisingly everything pretty much just works.  It seems to support
IPP printing out of the box. But I haven't seen if the user has tried to use
Kerberos V (is that supported?).  Also I'm very confused about the relationship
between NetInfo & LDAP.  Apple's documentation suggests *strongly* that there is
one, but people I talk to go "Huh?".

I'm very curious about Mono/.Net on Mac, and especially the status of native
ports (or native widget ports) for things like GTK, Open Office, etc...
