Well, I traded the headeache of maintaining 7 machines for "a single
point of failure". So far, it's been a lot less hassle. I have 2
multiseat PCs and one embedded box. So it's a question of where do you
spend your time... I've chosen to spend it on doing something unusual
and (to me) interesting. I don't recommend it for everyone.
