Is there any reason why a non stipped down computer wouldn't work as a =
workstation. I don't have an extra old compter sitting around. Could I =
use the boot from floppy option and then leave the nomral operatining =
system intact but unused?=20
My understanding is that once the boot over the network occurs, all disk =
activity is then on the server. If this can be done, with no impact on =
the operating system installed on the workstation, my employer will let =
me proceed. =20
I have been having some real good results using my linuxbox at work and =
1 of my co-workers is real interested in using linux for for 2 reasons. =
First the greater lack of virus vulnerablility and second, the virtual =
desktops, which allows each of our general types of work to be =
isolatedin its own virtual desktop. Thisis a real advantage as each =
catagory sometimes results in as many as 4 browser windows and 1 or 2 =
other applications running. All done on one desktop gets unmanageable =
real fast.
Regards,
Charlie
