It'd just be a small computer room, maybe 20 computers.  We 
wouldn't need it to do a lot.  We'd want to coordinate printers, of 
course... being able to install software to all the machines from the 
server would be nice, but linux probably wouldn't be able to do 
that?  We could probably keep all the software on the machines 
themselves, rather than on the server, and just have the server 
store files.

I really don't know alot about this as you can probably see :)  Any 
ideas/suggestions are appreciated.
