Yes, but last time I've checked it was having difficulties - I guess not
enough developers were working on it.

I was thinking about making it work "out of the box" with both Ubuntu
and the freeIPA (or a different service that is chosen) to make it easy
to deploy a complete replacement for Active Directory, at least for
Linux clients as I guess more software (samba4?) is needed to make a
complete clone of AD. After all it's possible to do that even today but
the amount of knowledge and knowledge plus a scattered documentation
makes it too hard.
