Recently I got the opportunity to setup a new lab for a small school. The server runs Linux and the workstations run WindowsXP. There are 3 levels of access on the workstations (admin, teacher, and student) and security on the workstations is based on Windows policies applied at logon.

Cost savings would be the primary reason for setting up a Samba server as opposed to a Linux or NetWare server for file and printer sharing. It also has some useful features not found on either Windows or NetWare - 'veto files' to disallow certain file types being the best example.
Using poledit is just like using Group Policies to restrict users from changing key settings on their workstations. This is especially useful in a school environment where you don't want the students to change things like the screensaver or desktop colors.
