as linux and windows are based on client/server tech. but there is a
lot of difference in each of them. there are few question :

1. as windows boots we see a password entry screen with user name and
the domain. can we get this kind of screen in linux if yes how.

2. in client server tech. clients get the data from the server where
as in linux how can we get the data from NT server or Linux server.

3. can i get some detailes regarding the NFS and NIS servers

I'm not sure what you are looking for. If you want to centralize
administration you need to look into NFS and NIS or alternatively DNS
and LDAP. NFS and NIS are the linux defaults for Linux but DNS/LDAP
will allow you perform administration acrossed Windows clients/servers
also. I've got NFS and NIS figured out but am still working on DNS and
LDAP. These arrangements will work fine though with your login screen as
it currently stands. Samba can also be used to set up file and printer
shares that are somewhat interchangeable with M$.

Now, are you just looking for the graphical login? That is easier to
change. All you need to do is change the default runlevel to 5. You
can find this in the file /etc/inittab

The answers to these questions are complicated enough that I must refer
you to

http://www.tldp.org/

Read all you can and then do some experimenting. Post any issues about
which you are confused here, afterwards.
