hello friends, our school has a new computer room with a lot of windows pc's. after a lot of talking and patience, I can now move in and use it for my linux courses for the kids of 7th/8th class.
we have been working for nearly a year in a seperate classroom with lowend hardware, but now we can buy a good machine, place it in the computerroom and boot all clients from this edubuntu server. this is all tested with an old computer and works. I can now order the components for a new computer, but wanted to ask you for your input: I know that the main components like lan, harddisk, ram and prozessor are important for the speed of the overall system. but I wonder if a quad-core system will give me superior performance. is edubuntu using the full power of such a prozessor and is this an optimal choice for serving aroung 10 pc's? or would it be better to use a dual core at a higher speed? I planned for following system: Intel Core 2 Quad 2,44 GHz 4 GB RAM Gigabit LAN Nvidia 8500 GT Grafic Card 500 GB Samsung Disc Gigabyte Mainboard thansk for any help or recommendation you can give. I plan to document everything very extensively, so that others might learn from this case. rgds, uwe -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
