AD is sorta LDAP, but Linux doesn't come with the schema, and I'm not at
all sure it's going to happen any time soon*. Even if it does, unless it
comes with a GUI to match Microsoft's, you'd have rocks in your head to
try to do it.
Linux can authenticate against AD though.
* Apple's OS X Xserv comes with openldap and a gui, but it doesn't
equate to AD either.
