I want to do this on the cheap. So i have a couple of
retired 1 Gig Athalon machines I would like to repurpose
for this.

Do you mean 1 GHz or 1 GB of RAM? If the latter, that's plenty for a
workstation, but perhaps a bit tight for a (busy) server.

If the former, 1 GHz is more than enough as a workstation which will
essentially be working as a thin client - well, X11 forwarding is not
exactly the same, but you can go the "thin client way" too. ;-)

Sorry; that would be a 1Ghz Athalon with about 256 or 512Mb of RAM.

This would be the server.
I have a pair of 2.5Ghz workstaions running Windows.
