I am planning a small (30 clients) LTSP deployment and have few questions.
The clients are going to be used for a single function. They will run FireFox and connect to single URL on our LAN. The URL will be different for each client and Firefox will be configured to use the URL as its default start page. The browser will never leave the default page and the page uses javascript to automatically refresh the display and update the content being displayed. I am planning to run FireFox fullscreen (kiosk style) at 800x600 screen resolution. Given the above scenario how much RAM will I need in the server? Will 2GB be enough? 4GB? Will there be any performance issues If I run Firefox from the server? Or should I run it as a local app? I am planning to run the LTSP server as virtual machine under VMWare ESX. Has anyone done this? Are there any issues with doing it? All LTSP traffic will be carried on its own private LAN. The clients will be connected to the server via 100MB switch. Initially, I am planning to use some Dell Optiplex GN and G1 desktops as clients. They have anywhere from 32MB of RAM to 160MB. How much RAM they should have to run Firefox with excellent performance?
