RedHat 9 is very old, strongly recommend you upgrade to RedHat Enterprise Linux 4 (educational licenses $50!) or CentOS if you can't afford that. This will help in both performance (2.6 kernel is very improved in multimedia and desktop performance) as well as security. > Or need to upgrade to AMD64 or P4 etc. before trying ? How does video look when your logged in locally on the server? Does it run without being choppy? Does it peg out the CPU or gobble up lots of RAM? If it does, than yes you're hardware needs updating, if not the bottleneck may be your network. I would consider a fast ethernet switch the bare minimum for any type of LTSP animation (even something like Flash animations), for real video, you'll likely need gigabit to get really good performance on multiple clients. Also, a true server with 64bit disk and network controllers will offer better performance than trying to take a superfast new desktop system and make it a server, invest in quality server hardware. If you go with an Opteron or Xeon server with 64bit support, make sure your video codecs support 64bit linux. As an example, there is no 64bit Macromedia Flash player so even on x86_64, you have to run a 32bit browser in order to view flash, there's also no 64bit java plugin. Be sure to take this into account before going 6bit, you might want to invest in a 64bit capable system but remain with a 32bit OS for the time being (Opterons will still run 32bit code extremely fast as will Xeons).
