You do not need this in any case, I think. > 2. Lose the GUI on the server or at least drop Gnome for something faster Try LXDE - it has very good reputation. From Planet Debian: http://petereisentraut.blogspot.com/2009/06/praise-to-lxde.html http://petereisentraut.blogspot.com/2009/08/why-i-dumped-kde.html Another popular one is XFCE (Xubuntu). > 3. Run Firefox as a local app You need more power (CPU and MEM) on your thin clients, I think. P4 + 1GB is good one for localapps, I think. > 4. Get a gigabit switch to replace our 10 year old 100meg switch. Change this right now ;-) "If you have more than 20 users, it is recommended to use Gigabit Ethernet connected to a gigabit port on a switch for your LTSP servers. Although normal usage ranges from 0.5 to 2mbit, clients can peak quite high (70mbit), especially when watching multimedia content." http://www.ltsp.org/~sbalneav/LTSPManual.html#network > 5. Raid or SCSI disks Maybe, but this is not a real bottleneck, I think. > 6.. Something I haven't thought of ..... This is my favorite ;-) "A Bohr bug or bohrbug (named after the Bohr atom model) is a bug that manifests itself consistently under a well-defined (but possibly unknown) set of conditions. Thus, in contrast with heisenbugs, a bohrbug does not disappear or alter its characteristics when it is researched." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unusual_software_bug Best Regards Asmo Koskinen. -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
