Mariano,

Actually, I can do a little better than that - I can use a remote desktop connection to a Windows box for any stuff that needs to run on it.

� The new machine is absolutely going to run Linux; I bought it with that in mind.� However, since it was pre-infected, it seemed wise to smell the roses - though the fertilizer appears to be the overpowering sensory stimulus.
