Yes it is, but if you are not using X11 inside Qemu then there won't be any bandwidth problems, Qemu will not eat more bandwidth then firefox or openoffice. The biggest burden on you server would be the on the CPU/RAM because Qemu emulates a linux machine. I didn't know about the -snapshot option, this is useful, but if Qemu keeps the modifications to the image in RAM, that's another performance hit for the server. > Just to rephrase what I want.

You get what I mean? not really. To run Qemu you need linux. Do you have already linux installed on the network for the students or the stations just act as LTSP clients ? -- mitu ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Power Architecture Resource Center: Free content, downloads, discussions, and more. http://solutions.newsforge.com/ibmarch.tmpl _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
