I've just spoke to the local IT dept guy, and he said that my PC won't
be joined to the AD for the moment (because of the OS installed on it).

I think that some public administrations of some countries are just not
quite ready to admit/accept the fact that there are other alternatives
on the market just as good or usually better than M$. They rather pay
rip-off license prices, than educate, teach and show desktop users how
to use and benefit from free software, that is as simple -or even
simpler- to use as/than Windows. Shame on them!

That's so sad because I was getting ready (with this list help, of
course) to go ahead and do it. On the other hand, the good thing is that
I won't be forced to reinstall WinXP, so GNU/Linux will keep running on
my box!
