In a larger company, I'd simply turn a random workstation into a Linux server and put CygWin/X on each workstation, but in a very small company (say, 2 or 3 workstations) that's not a practical option. "CygWINE" would be perfect for those. "We do MS-Windows better than Microsoft does." (-: BTW, about the spam-armouring on the list archives... I copied and pasted the addresses in this email, verbatim, from sources.redhat.com into KMail and they all came out right. If KMail can do it, so can spammers. Two tricks I use to achieve the same ends are to simply leave the word "dot" out of the domain, so my email becomes "leon at cyberknights com au", and to scramble the addresses and use an OnMouseOver to descramble them at view time. Sooner or later, the nasties will start executing JavaScript too, but at the moment it seems to work.
