The nice thing about Unix is that its multi user and knows about
remote displays. All the people here have NT workstations on the
desk. We have one Linux box in a machine room which we all telnet into
and do development work on. It has no problem handling 7 or more
simultanious users compiler and debugging. So we get the best of both
worlds. Linux to do the serious work on and NT for Word. Turn your
spare PC into a Linux server for all your engineers to use.

PS don't try this with NTs telnet client, its too broken.
