It really depends on what parts of AD are you using. To centralize 
user/password management and home directories OpenLDAP should be sufficient. 
But if you want to replace more sophisticated AD features (software 
deployment, etc.), ther is nothing good enough (and Open Source/Free) for 
Linux.
If your environment is mostly Windows based, I'd stay with AD.
