Security Updates:
        (This should also be covered in the 'What Now'. )
___________________
Support Hardware:
  ___LTSP Clients up to 4 more
         (LTSP clients Need no Hard Drive.  32 meg of memory is
         sufficient.  A NIC card supported by ROM-A-MATIC or with an
         Etherboot (TFTP) NIC.  I should be able to come up with a couple
         more Linksys NIC's (if someone has boxes) with boot floppies (or
         onboard etherboot chips) but they require 200MHz of better.)
