Richard,

 

I’ll bet most of the readers snorted and hit the delete button on reading this one.

But after I did that I thought you could actually use a real answer, so I pulled it back out.

 

Quake, where FPS’s reign supreme will not run well in a TS environment with only one user, put multiple users in the equation and you’re out of luck. Especially if there are other users who are concurrently trying to use the system for regular (office type) purposes, (they will get mad).

 

Your only hope here is local apps where the performance of the app is based on the performance of the local machine.

You might try a full gigabit network (workstations/switches/server). This might come close with a couple users.

 

There may be some benchmarks out there regarding what frame rates can be got out of a 100Mb connection. It would be interesting to know the actual (theoretical/real) limitations. I think I actually read something a while ago comparing TS apps like VNC vs plain X vs NoMachine vs RDP. Those numbers could probably be extracted from that document, I will have to try and find it again. It would be nice to have the kind of info at your finger tips, just say “go to http://www.ltsp.org/contrib/frame-rates.html for a current listing of FPS and there corresponding network speeds”. But alas we still have to dig for that stuff.

 

Now Tetris.. There’s a game J

 

Have a great one.

Anyone ever tried running quake in a terminal server environment?
