If that Crossover box could also get Samba, CUPS, this would be a slam
dunk. Especially a PII/800, which is viewed as "old", multitasking on all
at once. (Leave LTSP off that box, that's pretty CPU heavy.) Then it's
like, okay, here's a Windows box, I write a file, and save it. The file's
actually over here, on this Linux box. See? Oh wait, how did I open
that? With a Linux app called Crossover! I can go and print it
(starts)... Oh, wait... The printer's hooked up to the Linux box too...
Maybe bring this to the Stammtisch too... Then get networked with the
spacewalkers.
