Hi, We would like setup 4-5 Debian boxes to be X-terminals. We plan to have 20-30 users on them. Having quite limited system management resources we don't want to backup user areas on those boxes. So we plan to NFS mount /home area from another cluster (it's a big SCSI backed up disk from large SGI IRIX5 computer), so when user login into Debian box, he will see his usual /home area from a larger computer, with his mails, code and so on.
So far it seems to me like a nice idea, I think I know how to organize it, but I don't know how good this idea actually is? SGI disk on Linux computer... Are there any traps in doing that? Thank you, Sasha.
