Hi,

Why don't you switch things around.... Use K12ltsp as your main server, 
add a W2K or Server2003 server and make all your connections via thin 
clients. From the thin client create an icon for rdesktop to the Windows 
server and voila both systems accessed without dual boot or rebooting.

good luck
