Another system will have the same configuration, but with 1 GB of RAM for the Win2k terminal server.  Most of the workstations on the Lan have a Realtek 8139(A/B) network card that is not PXE capable so I'm going to have to boot these with a floppy.  Here is a list of software that will need to be available for this 6 user (more later) system:
