Virtual memory. Swapfile doesn't work over nfs. Having a diskless
machine with 128MB RAM for doing office-suite would be slightly
overboard, I think.

Of course, if the diskless machine is used for remote X, that's another
matter; but you'd need a real powerful server for handling all those
remote users' processes.

 Hi!
 
 Someone please tell me, if I want to use a Diskless clients (p200 with
 64 MB ram) and a strong server and 10 Mb ethernet cards, how will run
 the StarOffice 5.1 on the clients?? 
 Have anyone any experience with this??

I use staroffice over a 10Mb network loading from a Pentium 200 64MB on
a 486 DX 100 16 MB with 1.3 GB harddisk, facilitating ssh.

It takes some time until staroffice is loaded (though running a raid 0
on the P200). I guess this is because of a rather long X conversation
on startup.  Usage and feel is a bit slow, but you can work with it.

Not with loading off the network in particular, but I tried it out on
my Notebook, a P233 with 64 MB. SO is useable, but working is painful.
This is mostly a RAM issue, I think. It's bearable with 128 MB, but
still feels somewhat sluggish.

If you ever thought Netscape was a pig... ;)
