There's lots of advantages in having 2 instead of 1. Quite apart from being able to leave a simple server running all the time providing services (public, or not), while you can fiddle all over the place with your client machine and not lose anything important (because all that important stuff is actually stored on the server). You've got two machines for when you have to fault find. It's very handy to be able to access the net on one machine, when a faulty one is refusing to do so. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
