Hi Bram,
In our group, the workstations are split about 60/40 OS X/Linux based on user preference. Nearly all the laptops are macs. None of the scientists use windows unless they have to for specialized data acquisition systems.
Like I said, heterogeneous :-)
BTW, we'll have to burn the Linux bridge too, could you point me to how you would require PIV login on the Linux machines?
