One thing were trying to do with one client, is run XWin32 on their
existing wintel boxes.. and run StarOffice 5.2 on their server.
(Star Office runs MUCH MUCH MUCH better this way BTW)..
So rather than have to raise all their PC's to 128M of ram (expensive)..
We just put like 512M of ram in the server.

Then.. later, we can look at weeing them to a Linux desktop, with legacy
apps provided by Win4Lin NSSE (Server edition).
