That completely depends on what app you want to run. Firefox likes lots of memory. So does OpenOffice. I'd suspect that xclock would require very little ram, although it's a bit less useful :) > > I am particularly thinking of a voip application like ekiga or twinkle. > Another candidate for local apps is Rhythmbox or Amarok. Well, one thing that is still a sticky point for local apps is Gnome apps that need to access/modify gconf. You'll have BIG BIG problems if you have both a client app and server apps both trying to update gconf. gconf database corruption is highly likely. I think ekiga will have a problem but twinkle should be ok. I think that running firefox + all the things it needs, like flash player and java vm is pretty cool, but the really cool thing will be voip apps. this will make a LTSP based call center MUCH MUCH easier. > > We have 300MHz Celerons and P2s with 64MB RAm (can upgrade to 128MB). > Would this be enough? 64mb is pretty low. even 128 is on the low side. I'd enable network swap with anything less than 256mb.
