Okay, so maybe installing Cygwin with X on the Windows machines and
running OOo from an NFS or Samba share on the Linux box is the way to
go?

I was also thinking about forwarding OOo through SSH, but was having
problems starting a new, blank OOo document from the command line.
Anyone know the trick to that? I keep getting the setup screen whenever
I do 'cd /usr/lib/openoffice/program/ ; ./swriter'


OT: hey, Quinn, you work at Cerner? Say hello to Jeff Olsen for me if
you know him... I think he's a sales drone over in Sector 7G :-)
