Hello Nadav, Thanks again for providing such detailed information on your implementations.
For a 250 terminals implementation, what server setup would you advice? The terminals will be corporate terminals with open office and some other general productivity software. I am thinking of using a cluster of 5 Core2 Quad machines with Serial SCSI and a minimum of 6G RAM per machine. Are there any other people that can comment on large LTSP implementations?
