I should be a bit more specific.  The workstations are running Win XP.
I'll be adding another workstation latter this year and I'll be the 
primary user of that machine.  When that happens, I will seriously
consider making that one a linux box.  The server is a different
project.  I want it to provide network storage to the Win boxes
via the Map Network Drive function.  Sounds like a job for Samba.
