Cindy, I'd say it's worth a try.
We run an Xen hosted-on-CentOS 5.1 LTSP 4.1 server for me user to do app development. This allows me to use a different ISP or gateway or other network configuration than the rest of our 40 users , who we serve from 2 physical (workstation class) LTSP servers. (One would do, but we want hardware redundancy). The comments about server load being greatest only at boot time are correct. Since our home dir and all applications are NFS mounted from another server performance is really more a function of the specs of the other server, than of the LTSP server. All of our LTSP servers, virtual and physical are just that and nothing more. They all mount home dirs and load applications from a SCSI raided server with lots of ram and a GB network card. This allows the all LTSP servers to be relatively lightweight and specialized at their sole purpose: LTSP! I have no doubt the concept will work fine serving many users. It is fast and reliable. Good Luck! Al Hutt Cindy Murdock wrote: > Nevermind, in re-reading your message I see you had 5.
