I would say that depends a lot on what applications you will be running. Our Linux Terminal server hasn't got that many users yet (we're adding as we speak), but we have a Windows Terminal server with about 30 users wich is a double Xeon 2.8GHz. The applications is the usual windows stuff (office, some financial programs and so on). With about 30 concurrent users we use about 5% cpu :)
I would say it's always the memory and the hard disks that are the bottlenecks in the few systems I had. My recommendation would be to get a motherboard with two CPU-slots, but only add one in the beginning. Then you could add one more if you saw that it was necesary later. I would also make sure to get fast SCSI disks and lots of memory. //kim System administrator Chalmers Student Union > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of jef peeraer > Sent: Thursday, January 29, 2004 6:08 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] 30 users and + > > till now , all my installed LTSP servers where for a small > number of users ( > 1 -> 10 ) and i used a single processor motherboard for that > ( AMD 2400 + or more ).
