we have up to 25 concurrent users working on one LTSP-server mit these specs: * 2 Xeon Quadcore [email protected], which means 8 CPU * 32 GB RAM * Common applications for a mixed administrative and scientific environment (Openoffice, firefox, kde, some video, some database development with Postgresql, etc. Everthing works fine as this server is somehow oversized :^). CPU: The CPU are really fast, kde is quite snappy. CPU usage is mostly on a low level with some peaks. 8 cores are nice but if in doubt I would prefer faster CPU against number of cores. It's better to have one fast Quad-Core then two lame ones because the user mostly uses one core with the application and appreciates fast responses. RAM: The RAM is mostly used for caching (which speeds it up), real usage is below 10G. > There will also be virualbox runing on server and "Windows Server 2003" > running on it. We currently have a separate Windows Terminal Server and use rdesktop on the clients. /home of each user is on a separate file/samba server. Conclusion: With recent hardware and about 24 GB RAM you'll get a really nice terminal server with lots of room for 10-20 more users.
