there is potential there but only if none of the apps used run on the
server. It'd be easy to put a linux box online as a data sink. I may
do it unofficially and try it before trying to migrate anything from the
general user community.

Oh, what I run on "my" desk is up to me but for many reasons win95 and
nt will have to be there but I can have a Linux system too.
