It can get to be quite a pain ITA. If you allow realaudio, etc. people

Here in Maine that can mean $150/month instead of $20/month. It doesn't
make sense but that's how they usually price it.

Apache will give you proxy and more.
I have had good results using apache proxy, samba, and a standard kernel.
If people want to do other things, they telnet to the linux server from
their windows machine. Some of them actually get to like using pine or elm
for email, especially when you educate them about the security issues. If
you set up samba properly their E:(or whatever) drive is actually their
home directory. Tell them to use it for data and it will be backed up
every night. Then they start to get the picture - if they follow the
suggested procedure they don't need to worry about people using their
workstation.
