Hello, Does anyone here have experience deploying an LTSP solution (over Debian/Knoppix) for a large number of clients? We are evaluating LTSP for our entire university, and may have over 100 users (with maybe 50 concurrent users), and that’s just phase 1. Phase 2 will be 100 more. My LTSP deplyment vendor is recommending just one large server with 4 gigs of RAM. My thumb rule is 50-64mb RAM per client. Anyone care to detail their experiences?
Specifically: -One or more servers? How to run 2+ LTSP servers if the DHCP ports will conflict? Can each server use a diff. set of ports? Client config for 2+ servers? -If file services are run off a separate server, do I need a live backup for the LTSP server? An hour of downtime wont hurt, but a half-day's downtime will. -USB pen drive storage on the client? -CD-ROM drive on the client? CD-writing? Also to any LTSP pros in Mumbai, India. We're hiring SysAdmins for this setup :) Thanks Nitin Nitin(at)nitinputcha,com --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
