Any card that has a boot rom and is supported in the kernel you boot from. The Intel cards are nice, very reliable and I think they all come with a boot rom now. > 2. what is an efficient way to share files from a main > sever to those terminals. NFS, make sure your blocksize is 8k for read and write. NFS version 2 over UDP is the most efficent, but NFS version 3 over TCP is more reliable. Swaping over NFS is a disaster. If you must have swap to run, then use a small local disk for it. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
