I have been using it at various times over the last 9 Months. (demo versions, including the server version) I recently purchased the latest version (4) and am running Windows 98 on it. Overall very good, seems as fast as native windows. Expect to spend some time reading the manual, as you would expect. I have the one user license, which means if you try to run it on more than one terminal it refuses to run. Of course you can buy additional licenses and run it on as many clients as you like. When I was trialling the server version I ran it on four thin clients and did a few tests. (1) Loading win98 used 50 MB of ram for each client. (2) Loading word 97, Internet explorer, outlook express, and acrobat reader required another 50 MB of ram. (3) Once everything is loaded into ram (I have 512 MB of Ram on the server) the load on the CPU is very low Win4Lin is a good option if you want to run legacy apps. I have not tried the other option yet (codeweavers Crossover office, which I believe is based on Wine) Any comments?? ------------------------------------------------------- Sponsored by: ThinkGeek at http://www.ThinkGeek.com/ _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
