    Yes. Remember too that ordinary users don't need a full Linux
    installation on their PCs so you can save a lot of network
    administration time if you use a live Linux CD like Knoppix for your
    network workstations. Pick a CD that most closely reflects your needs
    and remaster that to suit your particular requirements if necessary.
    There are many ways you can implement this.
