Rolling everything into a single bow would be a great simplification. 
What about loading of the machine? I haven't seen any problems with 
the linux boxes wrt loading, but the Windows boxes have been 
problematic. I suspect this to be an issue with the OS and would 
*love* to see the AGN community get away from the proprietary PPT and 
create a more friendly  Opensource environment. Removal of the 
Microsoft OS' would definitely help our security folks sleep 
easier.... :-)
