Try running Win4Lin on the server for your widows applications, it runs win95, 98 and ME at about the same speed as a standalone system I have been using it with LTSP for the last 12 Months, another good thing is a windows re-install takes about 2 minutes if you create a tar file of the win directory cd /home/derek tar -czvf win.tar.gz win If a virus strikes.... rm win, tar -zxvf win.tar.gz and less than 2 minutes later you are back in business. They use a separate directory called mydata for your important data. Anyway all this info is in their docs I have found each win98 session needs about 100 MB of ram om the server, 50 MB for windows startup and another 50MB for all the apps that I run if all loaded together (IE, outlook, ms word, acrobat reader and explorer) p.s I don't need windows as Linux meets all my requirements, but my kids insist on msn messenger for their chat because it has better icons than gabber _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas - http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm?source=osdntextlink _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
