Hej Mats,

> 512mb ram? 256 for cache? I seriously doubt I need that much.

I wouldn't bet on it - we've got some older P1 thin clients with only a 
few MB RAM. Sure, they boot. Sure, the user may log in sometimes.

But sooner or later those terminals will crash if not helped by swap 
memory on the server. Yes, with swap memory they run flawlessly.

Later I saw chrashes on much better equipped terminals, so I switched 
swap on for all of them. Since then, no more problems...

By the way, we found that slower terminals have problems when the server 
has a high load. Sometimes working on them becomes nearly impossible as 
they react so slowly. Other terminals still react normally, though 
screen update times rise. In an environment with more than, well..., 
about 20 - 25 clients I would not recommend to use slower machines than PII.

Regards

Rolf
