Nor a need for graphics on a server.

I use weendoze (hock, spit) for such activity, with the concept that the 
system can be wiped and restored when necessary.  My only problem is the 
  products that have entries in the damn registry.  I cannot just 
restore the base system, and move all my other applications and products 
back onto the disk and just use them.  Ya, know, like you can (usually) 
on VMS, except I rarely / never have to re-load a new copy of VMS.

That's my complaint.  Maybe I'm just not competent to figure out a 
decent solution.
