Hi Jonathan, I haven't been able to pull anything from the logs but the effect for end users it that the thin clients lock up. The Server is also unresponsive and I can't log in via ssh or on the console. The event that triggers the crash is having 10-12 students sign on at the same time. Late last year I thought this might be related to errors with NBD but no errors were logged to that effect this time around. The system I have in place now (AMD 64, 4 cores, 32bit version of ubuntu 7.04) has 1/2 as much ram (8 gigs) and is much faster to logon, paint pages etc than 8.04. So much so that kids remark upon it. I am a bit flummoxed. I wish I didn't have to upgrade but 7.04 no longer enjoys software support :-( Thanks for your ideas!
