Sometimes, buying a diskless linux computer will be cheaper than building!!

linux network-cards and diskless computers. These companies do mass
production of Linux Diskless computers selling millions of units and thereby
reducing the cost per unit. Each and every fortune 1000 companies in USA will be
replacing the MS Windows PCs with diskless computers in near future as diskless
linux computers can run both Linux and MS Windows 95 programs (via
VMWare BIOS software).
VMWare is NOT a

guest OS to linux. You can use the 'xhost' command and DISPLAY environment from
diskless node to run Windows95/Linux programs. See 'man xhost' on linux.
You can also use Virtual Network Computing (VNC) to run Windows95/NT programs on
linux diskless nodes. Get VNC from
