... nice idea. I tried this about half a year ago with a diskless system
booting via floppy. It works nicely, but I would prefer a standalone system
that can be moved if necessary (e.g. take it to your mates' house for
DVD/DivX sessions). Wouldn't it be nice to have a noiseless PC without a
server in the background?
