I highly recommend Listar.  Since you have Debian, you can snag the
deb for it pretty easily.  And you're in luck; I'm both a coder for
Listar and the Debian maintainer of it, so you can ask your questions
about it right here or in the meetings :-)

Well, unfortunately, I know little about how the Microsoft clients
deal with these things.  I'll ask around a bit and see if I can find
out that end, or if you could provide some info about just how they
get that info, that'd be good too.  I pretty well know the Linux end
of it, but I'm weak with knowledge about the details on the Microsoft
side.
