I'm newbee in LTSP and I whish to know if I could migrate a novell 4 with 50 DOS clients to LTSP with 50 DOS clients and also gain perfomance? Do the server has to be a Dual Processored or a simgle processored PIV is enough to do the job?
I'm not sure what you want to do. The point about LTSP is *not* having "DOS clients", but the terminals running a very cut-down Linux instead. If you plan replacing the novell server with a linux box: That's possible, but has nothing to do with LTSP in the first place. They can even coexist and collaborate.
I'd like you to inform about what LTSP is and what it commonly is used for. Reading the mailing list archive could give you a rough idea, www.ltsp.org contains some material and of course you will most of the time find someon on the #ltsp irc channel (irc.freenode.org I think) who's willing to talk about his setup.
If you explain more precisely what "job" has to be done, probably someone can tell you wether you need dual CPU. For running openoffice, java, mozilla, stuff you probably want a *fast* box. More RAM seems to be more important than a faster CPU though, YMMV. This has been discussed several times on this list, so I won't elaborate.
