Ernesto:
Our current server is an AMD AthlonXP 3200+ with 2gb of RAM. It easily handles 18 clients connected, which is the most we've done with the current setup. The only thing the users are allowed to run is IceWM, the window manager, and our customized Firefox. Those are ran from the server, the only application we run locally on the thinclient is XScreensaver -- which runs fine as a local application. The server also runs Apache/PHP/MySQL, which hosts our custom-built application.
I just built our second-generation server, which is a dual-Opteron setup. We'll be running it for the first time at a large gymnastics meet the weekend of the 22nd in January. We'll be running 30 stations with it, and I'm sure it'll handle it all just fine.
Hope this helps... I'm going to write some more information and send it here to the list, or post it up on the Wiki, or both.

I'd like to throw in a suggestion for the environment: I've been using IceWM and *love* how easy to configure it is, and just exactly how configurable you can make it. Its VERY lightweight. I'm running it, with Firefox, on our thin clients, in a kiosk-type setup. Auto-login with KDM, the browser opens in full-screen mode, there is not task bar, the user cant launch other applications, cant minimize Firefox (there is no titlebar), etc. Then with the help of someone on this list, I've customized Firefox so that none of the menus are available, none of the hotkeys work, you cant right-click, left-click, etc. Its perfect.
If you need any help in that regard, drop me a line to the list, and I'll post some more information. This list has been a big help to me getting going, and if I can help anyone at all I'd be glad to.
Thanks, --Eric

The LTSP server sounds okay as long as you don't want to run a heavy X environment like KDE or Gnome. It sounds like you just need something very light as you are only running Firefox. Try TWM or XFCE setup like a kiosk. Will the LTSP server be running the web server as well? If yes, how intensive is the web application? Does the web app use a database backend? Is it also on the LTSP server? I would recommend moving the web server to its own machine and if you plan to dramatically increase the number of clients in the future, put the database on its own machine as well. If the number of clients stays below 50 then you can keep web and database on one machine.

Hi everybody, I saw many answers about how to configuring LTSP server but very confusing. Somebody can help me with a single question ? The question are...... How is the minimal configuration for the server LTSP run a application web (PHP) ?
Details for the clients machine:
1 - total 20 2 - Type, Duron 1.0 with 128mb 3 - After login the user runs just a browser (firefox) in client with LDAP autentication...
I have a machine, PIV 2.6 with 1GB mem and 80GB HD IDE.....Is it good ?
Thanks....Ernesto
