IMHO, this may not be a very good scheme. The reason is that all the Windows workstations on the network have to have the entire OS and all the applications you erquire, installed on every machine. You only end up managing an extra (Linux) Server along with all those workstations. If you really need to have Windows workstations, you should rather hook up the computers together and make one of the machines run a WINS service.
{snip) i know brother that the scheme is not very good, but its not my lab. 200 more students work on them.. plus i am not the boss. the HOD wants it to be done that way and no one say "NO" to the HOD. its his way or the highway.. so we have to do it the way he told us to. windows workstations- linux server- remote login(telnet) and ftp server
