Devraj, Ken, et. al.- I have the same challenge, but I'm utterly confident that QuickBooks will NOT run under Wine - or any other such program. So I'm preparing to install Windows Server 2003 as a virtual machine, then QB on it. My plan is to allow LTSP users, and perhaps other LAN clients, to use a remote desktop connection to the VM, as this box is a dual-processor, dual-core 2 GHz/4 G-RAM heavy lifter with the SMP-enabled 2.6 kernel. I doubt they will even notice any difference in terminal operations when the Winders section is busy, as the TC/QB connections will be sharing a Gbit line out of the enterprise switch, which could be split (if need be) into one each for TCs and QB/local if need be.

If you can get your Windows applications to run under Wine, then yes, this can replace your Windows 2000 Server. Or, better yet, if you can convince your users to use applications that are written for Linux or run on Linux (written in Java), that would make your challenge easier. I tried the same direction you are going. First identified the critical applications that had to run. Copied them to a Linux workstation. Tried to configure the application to run under Wine. I was not too successful in getting some Windows applications to run under Wine. So, the customer ended up buying a Windows 2003 server.
