One thing I discovered that eMachines PCs
can do, when one of the hard disks in my
server machine failed, is that it can boot
from a network. If you really want to prevent
mailware from running, get an eMachines PC
that can boot from the network. When the
hard disk that boots the system failed, it
tried to boot from the two NIC
connectors on the machine.
Of course, networking systems like
Internet Connection Sharing, and AllegroSurf,
do not support network boot. To boot from
the network, you would need some flavor
of NT server (you cannot do this using
non-Windows OSes". The eMachines
T6212 will try and boot from the network,
if it cannot boot from any drives in the
machine. So, if you really want to keep
users from installing unwated software, just
get a eMachines T6212, and set it to boot
form the network, and you are done.
