We are a SASI district, running currently on NT4. I just did a quick 
check on Pearson's customer forums and found at least one school 
district that is running the DB4 version of SASI on RedHat.

The individual is Richard Powell at rpowell@halifax.k12.va.us.

I am considering a move to replace our aging NT4 servers, but I am 
hesitant to move into Active Directory, so I'm going to be closely 
examining Samba3 - my gut feeling is it will work just fine, since SASI 
is purely a filesharing based system (at least when using the DB4 version).

Hope this helps,
