No way around the "sitting powered off", company directive. What is the quickest booting OS them I can use. I know about LinuxBios and that would require new hardware which does not go along which the re-purposing theme. Some of them do not need to be connectted to a network, so an old versions of linux or Windows 98 are possible. DOS is too old to consider. So what are my options?"
