1) You can use an Ubuntu 8.04 chroot in an Ubuntu 10.04 server. 2) We're successfully using Ubuntu 10.04 chroots with old desktops with 64 MB RAM. To make it work, we had to do the following: * Disable nbd-proxy, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ltsp/+bug/589034 for a how to. * Disable compcache by adding "nocompcache" in the kernel command line. * Increase NBD_SWAP in the server: $ cat /etc/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf SIZE=512 It doesn't matter if it's a big value, as sparse files are used. * Increase the "minram" variable in the ltsp_nbd file of the initramfs from 48MB to 64MB, so that 64MB clients get NBD swap while still on the initramfs, to prevent the hanging you saw. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
