use NFS to export home directories and the like from one of the machines.
Eithr use the print-server software (i forget the name), or put the printer
onthe ehternet.

Your sould would be in jeapordy. However, you could compile the kernel for

draw a pentium around it before launching windows or otherwise trafficing in
