customizing ubuntu desktops for a group of users

[Kumar Goswami]

Hi,

I'm new to Ubuntu and would really appreciate it if any of you can point me
to ways to automatically customize a ubuntu desktop based on login.

With unix, when you login in you can mount /usr/myaccount and in it are all
the startup scripts that make the machine mine and point me to my home file
system.

With windows, you can do something similar with roaming profiles that are
stored in Active Directory.

How can I do this witih Ubuntu?  When a user logs in, I'd like to
automatically connect them to their home disk (which may be served by a
network storage server) and bring up their desktop look and feel (if they
had changed things the last time they were in those changes should show up
at this login).

Thanks,
Kumar
