Thanks Jim!!
That's right, i'm talking about Itanium servers (HP Integrity rx1600) with SLES9, this server has 2 CPU of 2.1GHz and 1Gb of RAM.
Some fairly good tips I used setting things up on our intermediate server with SUSE 9.1: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/nnlsmag/features/a_ltsp_on_sles9_nls.html
It should serve at least 100 users, all working with OpenOffice (lots of work), Evolution and Mozilla.
Are you talking about 100 simultaneous users?
Depending on what workstations you've got, you may want to look into the (more difficult) task of running some applications locally. It seems the LTSP documentation has good starting tips on that.
Would this server support all the users??, or should i think about increasing RAM or something?. This is my first time with LTSP and Itanium so i don't know how it will really perform, any advice is wellcome!!
Can you ever get too much RAM?
For the "real" server (2x 800MHz AMD, 1.5 GB RAM, so far) we're setting up to switch to from the intermediate one, we're looking into using a RAID card with lots of cache, like e. g. Promise FastTrak S150 SX4, which supports inserting up to 256 MB SDRAM cache, with RAID 1,0.
Problem is there seem to be issues getting a driver for it right now for SUSE 9.x, but they're working on it (somebody's testing the beta).
BR, Gudmund
