Could there be one or two headless Linux servers which are then primarily
accessed through the Windows hosts? This is a typical pattern I've seen in
corporate software development. Windows is used for personal productivity.
But most development is done on Linux/BSD/Solaris/etc using some
combination of Cygwin/XFree/PuTTY/etc on Windows NT/2000/XP.
Another thing is that I think both XP and Linux can read/write to NTFS and
ext2. So running out of space in small filesystems is less of an issue.
Note however if you install Vista, you may have lots of problems.
