Glad to hear your making the move! I found it easy for my move to mount any or all NT shares directly on the linux box. For example: # mount -t smbfs username=admin,password=pass //NTbox/share /mnt (or something along those lines) Then you copy everything into the appropriate samba spots using scripts. Even users home folders can be copied. I don't think its possible to bring over passwords, so you'll have to re- create all unix and samba accounts with default passwords.
