Well, we have a Linux machine on our network at work. It is a print server on a network that serves both NT and Unix workstations. The linux box runs samba and LPRng with bounce-queue filtering through magic filter to handle the office printing. As a matter of fact, since I set it up, it even runs Debian. It is an old 486 machine that would have otherwise been thrown away since there is no way NT was going to run on that 486DX2-66 with 16Meg of RAM and a 200Meg hard drive.
I think linux HAS reached that point. You might want to look at the latest Linux Journal. Particularly the article on Linux as a proxy server for windows machines.
