        Well, Windows might complicate things, but the time-tested method of
    doing this is to authenticate someplace (historically NIS), host the
    home directories somewhere, and make all the machines
    very...predictable. Meaning, when it barfs for any reason, a single
    CDROM can rebuild the thing, saving scads of time.

        It appears there's a new version of NFS in the mix now; it uses a
    lot of things people have been waiting for...but I don't know it yet.

        But doing this has business implications...
