I would take the hard drive out of 2 computers, and make an openmosix cluster with the three computers.
This way the 3 computers use 1 hard drive maybe a second hd on the server machine to handle backups so you still get to configure 1 computer and the speed of the three together Otherwise just install 3 individual computers and network them normally To tell you the truth, these two options sound exactly like the same ammount of work, but the ltsp option is more cost effective because you will have a much more efficient use of hard drives 8) --- Radu Filip <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > hello, > > after going through lstp documentation and after > searching the web, and > this mailing archive, I'm still confused if ltsp is > what I need for my > purpose: > > - as opposed to thin client provided by ltsp (based > on xdmcp), I wish - > ideally - to be able to have a client that runs > locally all applications, > including X, as it were a classic linux desktop. > > why I need this: > - for a small office lan > - I have tree pc, all the same class and > aproximatelly the same cpu-power > and ram; oll of them are powerful enough (AMD 1.1 > GHz, 256 RAM, etc) > and quite identical, only the vide cards are bit > different (on server: > gefrce mx2, on the other two rivatnt) > - obviously, I don't want to have three different > linux-es installed on > that three pc-s. > - but in the same time I don't want to waste the > resurces of those two > (cpu, ram) and have only one (the server) that do > all the work > - I don't want even to have the same fully > functional distro from server > duplicated on /opt/ltps/i386 (file by file) > > question: > - is ltsp what I really need for these purposes? if > not, please point me > to the correct solution > - in "9.4.
