[olug] OT - Windows network question

[Dan Staehr]

Howdy,

I realize this is a Linux group but I'm sure some of you can probably 
steer me the right direction.

I'm helping out a local non-profit who is moving to a new office. I 
spent the day yesterday documenting their network and workstations. They 
are reducing their network size from 8 machines to 4, including a file 
server. The server is using Windows Server and VmWare.
Fortunately all of the workstations and the server are only a couple of 
years old. All of the workstations are Win 7 boxes.

Question is one of configuring their DSL along with server wirelessly, 
since their new office won't be easy to pull wire in. I do plan to have 
a wired connection to at least one of the workstations and to the server 
and router.

Also, for the computers they are planning to sell, what is the easiest 
way to clean the drives, and can the current OS's be reloaded. I'd like 
to clean the drives, and reload them with Ubuntu maybe.
