    1. Microsoft's version of Kerberos is considered as the flawed version
    of Kerberos. Also the kerberos site has a work around for kerberos to
    talk to windows.
    2. Single signon for linux can be accomplished using a number of methods
    a) Winbind (part of samba and will authenticate with windows)
    b) Samba authenticate against windows domain, allows you to share files
    to windows groups.

    It really depends on what your plans are I think the best thing to do is
    have kerberos allow authentication though ldap or another system (like
    radius)
