That's true, but you still want to be sure that your NIC works for that. 
   If let's say the Lindows computer has a propietary driver for the 
NIC, or said NIC isn't normally supported by Linux, it might be 
problematic.  I would laugh, but I can recall a certain laptop's NIC 
which indicated under lspci that it was one thing but actually only 
functioned as an rtl8139.
