We are currently serving about 25 desktops running qvwm with a dual p2-400 with 1gig of ram and an 18 gig scsi drive. we used redhat 8 for the install.
Our previous server, which was working fine, except I dont like editing gnome menus for large groups, was a dual p2-300 with only 512 megs of ram and an 18 gig scsi drive. that install was redhat 7.3, with ximian gnome. My experience has been that ltsp has pretty low requirements until you start trying to run mozilla and openoffice. -Jeff > On Friday 17 January 2003 18:14, Werner Winter wrote: >> Hello, >> we set up a test terminal server and it worked well.
