Check out the Diskless HOWTO... you need to set up user accounts only once
in the server.. then boot the 20 HP brios with a floppy - basically you're
booting off the server.. so you can still keep windows in your brios and
when you need to connect to linux, boot with a floppy.. check out
www.ltsp.org (ltsp=linux terminal server project) they have readymade
packages (RPM's) for this.. its very cool...
