i1300 printserver?

[jronald]

OK
Of the 12 i1300 I bought/traded/was given I have 2 left
These two wont run XP unless you have years to wait.
I suspect the incredibly slow HDDs that I was left with after a salvaged everything for the other 10.
Those 10 went to rising Seniors at the end of last school year, in exchange for 100 hours of community service and a "B" average grade.
Its odd when my wife and I set up the parameters for giving the units away, not a single one of the students we chose needed any additional hours, all of them were already active in the community!

I digress.....
I have multiple computer printers set up at the house.
Counting the RS232 port each of these i1300 should be able to run 3 printers each (1 RS232 and 2 USB ports)
XP is out, but would 2kPro or 98se be easier to set up for remote printing, 90% of the house is already on XP

Your thoughts?

Use nlite to cut down XP and use it. My old i1300 ran XP extremely well, and if cut down more would be great for use as a printserver where the rest of the house is XP-based.
