You're still missing the problem. The files are what they are. You can covert 
them from .tiff to .jpg's to .swf's, but they still are bits of data on a 
server. Your unix box is the server. Your clients are the Windows, MacOSX, or 
Linux machines that a person sits at. The clients "pull" the information into 
them and use an application like irfanview and convert those bits of data into a 
image that is displayed on a screen or paper. Nothing on the server has to do 
with the viewing, how it get viewed all happens on the client device.

Well that's not entirely true... if you change the metaphor of how you 
communicate with the server to be web based, then the server does have a huge 
"say" in how those images get in front of the client.
