They are all debian-edu etch, same packages and usage pattern. In the IT lab I have two servers. The athlon64 had 4GB, but developed a fault on the mobo. Now it has only 2GB for 9 thin clients, plus it is a workstation. It has IDE hard disk and Gb LAN into a 100Mbps switch.It works really well. The other half of the room has a core 2 duo with 4GB, sata disk and Gbps switch. It serves 9 thin clients and is not a workstation. It is a piece of shit, locking up completely most days. This pattern is repeated in other parts of the school. What do you use? nigel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
