Company computer utilization?

[Steven Timm]

SCE, which was developed in a Thai university, claims to be able to
do something like that.. actually they just have a floppy that the
user sticks in when they are done at night, and reboots the machine
across the net to run Linux diskless.  But I have never tried it
personally.
