If possible, the simplest solution is to have to independent boxes (win and

Because of the licensing issues, it's not cost-free to put Windows on all your
boxes. But it is cost-free to put Linux on all your boxes in these days of
huge disks, so why not do that?

An interesting solution along the lines you suggest is to put the two boxes
side by side and hook them both into a KVM switch that enables you to operate
them both from the same keyboard, mouse, and video terminal -- and even with
the same speakers and microphone. Just press the hotkey combination and your
keyboard, etc., switch from one to the other (Ctl - Ctl- Enter in rapid
sequence in my case). The only disadvantage of that setup, I've found, is
that there's some degradation of video quality because of the extra cables
involved. And there's no difficulty in networking the two boxes together.
