Linux Migration or Windows
It seems you have 2 choices that I know of. You can either migrate to A Windows2000 server and user there Terminal Services to emulate client PC's. You will have to pay for the various license's and not sure how that is, but at work it seems to be going well with LAN connectivity. That is connectivity of <10Mbps.
The other choice is through the Linux Terminal project. I have not implemented this yet, but it seems good in theory and less having to do with licenses.
Here is the LTSP URL

You will also likely use OpenMosix to increase performance in your Linux cluster.
Here is the URL for info on OpenMosix.

And finally you can get the desktop Apps such as Openoffice/Staroffice to read your Office 2000 docs and save in XML format if desired.

bos_exec
BOS_EXEC(8) AFS Command Reference BOS_EXEC(8)
NAME
bos_exec - Executes a command on a remote server machine
SYNOPSIS
bos exec -server <machine name> -cmd <command to execute>
[-cell <cell name>] [-noauth] [-localauth] [-help]
bos e -s <machine name> -cm <command to execute>
[-ce <cell name>] [-n] [-l] [-h]
DESCRIPTION
The bos exec command executes the indicated command on the file server machine named by the -server argument. Its intended use is to reboot
the machine, using the /sbin/reboot command or equivalent.
OPTIONS
-server <machine name>
Indicates the server machine on which to execute the command. Identify the machine by IP address or its host name (either fully-
qualified or abbreviated unambiguously). For details, see bos(8).
-cmd <command to execute>
Specifies the complete local disk pathname of the command to execute (for example, /sbin/reboot). Surround this argument with double
quotes ("") if the command contains one or more spaces.
-cell <cell name>
Names the cell in which to run the command. Do not combine this argument with the -localauth flag. For more details, see bos(8).
-noauth
Assigns the unprivileged identity "anonymous" to the issuer. Do not combine this flag with the -localauth flag. For more details, see
bos(8).
-localauth
Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. The bos command interpreter presents the ticket
to the BOS Server during mutual authentication. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or -noauth options. For more details, see
bos(8).
-help
Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.
EXAMPLES
The following command reboots the machine "fs2.abc.com". The issuer has previously issued the bos shutdown command to shutdown all
processes cleanly.
% bos exec -server fs2.abc.com -cmd /sbin/shutdown -r now
PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
The issuer must be listed in the /etc/openafs/server/UserList file on the machine named by the -server argument, or must be logged onto a
server machine as the local superuser "root" if the -localauth flag is included.
The bos exec command is not available on servers running in restricted mode.
