[Ltsp-discuss] Server Configuration for 40 LTSP THIN CLIENTS .

[Pratham]

Hi  all LTSPians,

      We are in the verge of expansion of our office and we have decided to have LTSP architecture for the same .

    We will be having round about 40 Thin Clients  Running simultaneously in full graphical mode .
                          we want to have KDE , Openoffice , Mozilla or any othe browser , etc . running on all the 40 clients
    
    We need to finalize on the Server Configuration which will remain stable for the above given case .
     We only want to have
                     not more than a single server with   ( WE DONT WANT TO HAVE TWO SERVERS )
                     dual processor and
                     upto 2.5 GB of ram (ram can be upgraded ) .
                     SCSI Drives or (any thing better than that as you say)
      BUT we are only stucked into the processor configuration
            
                 I am having following questions in my mind .
                  1)  can we run all intel based applications  on the AMD Processor
                              (like  sybase for i386 processor and so on  )
                   2) can a 32 bit application run on a 64 bit Processor
                   3) IS Red HAT 7.3 capable of detecting a dual processor , and will it support two 64 bit processor's.

  It will be great of you if you could guide me through this ASAP because we can't afford to change the configuration after the entire setup is done &  I also don't want this Project to be a failure   . Please Help me on this .
