How about if the swap drive is across the network, on the server.  Actually,
there's a question, if i do boot Linux off the network, do I need to have
separate root, swap and usr partitions for each machine that will do so, or
can some or all be shared?  Do I just mount Netware directories as
partitions on the Linux box?

Looking at the X-term alternative, would a 486-33 suffice as the server for
three or four X-term boxes running Netscape?  Or do I need something gruntier?
