> Holden, what Linux distro and KDE version do you use?

I don't use KDE.  I use Gnome on my desktop and IceWM for the secretaries.  I use 
Redhat.

Cups has a browser-based application to manage print jobs.  It comes with the package.

It could but as it is I could not fill my current server drive.  We are a small 
company with simple needs.

You must be refering to PXE.  I am not sure though if it is fast as you say.  All I 
know is that PXE is just a substitute for boot ROMs.
