In my original note, I said:

I received multiple answers, the best idea would be to have one SLC become a
master server and hold all extra sw such as X and associated stuff.
This would be accomplished w/ purchasing a good sized disk (~1Gb)
The other 3 SLC's, (if $$ is plentiful) I will purchase 200Mb disks for each
for local boot and swap, and receive the other necessary sw via NFS mounts
to the SLC server.
Thanks to all those who sent ideas:
