My print server and an LDAP slave at home run on a UNIX laptop.
I've also got a Netscape Directory Server on a UNIX laptop at home, but I
don't use it quite as much as the OpenLDAP install on the other laptop.
The laptop I usually keep with me runs Postgres for development on the
road. It's kinda one of those, ``Choose the right tool for the job''
things. If a database server is what you want, then Windows 95 probably
isn't.
