No they are all on linux. The problem here is that it creates a lot of
problem for work: outdated browser (some websites unaccessible), outdated
bash and programs (Hard to believe, but they have evolved a lot!!). We must
do everything by ourselves, hence the "hidden" machine: to handle backup of
our datas since he doesn't do it properly (last year his backup/nfs server
failed and we stayed a few months with an inconsistently rebuilt home, and
the "emergency solution" went to break also afterwards and...)

Hum hum... I'm still hesitating on what exactly I will do, but it won't
stay like that...

Anyway, thanks all for all the advices!
