A server appliance for use in a network of client users is disclosed. The server appliance includes a hub for coupling to one or more client computer workstations. Each client computer workstation is configured to communicate with the server appliance based upon the operating system hosted on the server appliance. The server appliance includes a control panel with a display which enables a system operator to retrieve forgotten password information and initiate an automated procedure for backing up data stored on a non-volatile memory at the appliance server. Additionally, the server appliance includes a parallel port for coupling to a shared parallel port printer which receives print jobs originating at the client computer workstations.
