Especially a PII/800, which is viewed as "old", multitasking on all at once. (Leave LTSP off that box, that's pretty CPU heavy.) Then it's like, okay, here's a Windows box, I write a file, and save it. The file's actually over here, on this Linux box. See? Oh wait, how did I open that? With a Linux app called Crossover!
