To install MODO on all your machines on the windows farm you can download the MS tool PSEXEC (see Links section) and use this from the command-line. Mind the CASES. Error code 0 seems the message for a clean install.

For those familiar with Linux, one of the great things is how Symbolic Links work and greatly integrate into the FS. For example storing versions /v02 /v03 and link them to /latest is a very handy trick to keep things organised. Read on for the syntax.
Especially for (small) SSD installs it saves a lot of space to turn of Hibernation (default is 75% of RAM size)
