Get a Cisco router on eBay with an ISDN card (lots of them.. loads of people selling them).
Get a normal wireless access point..
Connect, Configure (Via command line on the Cisco ;)), Go!
You'll be spending nearly your budget for the cabinet alone.. and all for one single server? Mad.. for a cabinet to hold a server, it has to be like 800mm deep.. not the sort of thing to be "tucked away" :p

Linux, BSD, etc.. all big contributors. ;)
Windows isn't really a competitor in this role at the moment.. at all..
If you're happy with 2k3, I'd say stick with it.
Altho Samba can do DC duties, it doesn't beat a 2k3 server - think group policies for one thing.. it's very nice in AD.
Nah, it's easy to fix compared to Windows servers.
You ever seen a Windows Active Directory domain which is out of sync between the controllers?
Same with IIS - I can fix Apache quicker than IIS Manager loads, let alone look at the mess which is inside it!! ;)
Altho, technically, "Linux" is...
To be honest, that's pretty mad.
Replacing Winword.exe means they won't be able to load Word, which, whilst may be funny, if it stops them working.. ouch. (I dunno how much you rely on Word at work..)
I hope you made a copy of Winword.exe as like, winword2.exe or something? So it's easy to...
It's called "unattended" in Windows, that's why ;)
Unattended Windows install will only install Windows tho.. you need to image it and then sysprep etc.. if you want a proper image installation with 3rd party apps installed ready!
Phase 1 Car, with Phase 2 wheels, with a Phase 3 Tailgate.
None colour-coded strips under headlights == Phase1
Long aerial == Phase1
Bump Strips == Phase1
Take a photo in the day, but if it's a Phase1 16v original colour, it'll be 449 Sports Blue :)
Hmm, odd..
Seems like something that would cause, too!
When you delete your temp inet files in Tools -> Options, does it take ages to do?! If you view them, is it empty?
I'm exactly the same.
After using Linux as my main desktop for years, I've now got a Mac running OSX and a PC running XP.
Why? Cus' they work for me better in that role than Linux did. My Mac is awesome!
Servers are all Debian. Why? Cus' they work the best for me in that role.
New...
I think it's pretty obvious Linux isn't for you. Get a Mac instead running OSX.
It's kinda like complaining about my new Buggati Veyron being crap because I can't go off-roading in it - I wouldn't, I'd buy a 4x4 instead :p
And in fairness, if you wanted to use Linux, you'd use the GIMP and...
Get a Macbook Pro, with 2GB RAM would be my advice.
My mate has it on his Macbook Pro with 1GB, and he says it really does need the extra RAM.
But, who cares, the main reason I bought mine was because of OSX and it looked mint :p ;)
Safari
Mail
Adium
Terminal
^^ always open on my Mac.. awesome!
Pages also.. very very very good IMO. I've made some awesome documents in it! Can't wait for iWork07 to get spreadsheet etc..
Exactly.. it will be freeview if it keeps going like this!
I'm just glad I'm down the BT Phone, ADSL and Sky route!
Sky is pure genius - it gets no better IMO in terms of TV entertainment! :)
