hmmm...ok, what are they supposed to be doing (other than actually being
able to use a windowing enviroment {gnome/kde, etc})? map shares, use the
internet, etc? What kinda hardware are they? are there only 2 computers
that will have linux, or are there more? If you want, send me an off-list
email and Ill give you my phone # so we can talk about it.
