We are running french, german and japanese desktop gnome sessions. But the sessions are tuned for internet use. (all our customers are on the internet, connecting via vpn)
Like 50-100 users per machine, really depend of the time and applications. For some applications (like image manipulation and such) we have dedicated x86 machines.
The only problem we have is launch performances of staroffice and firefox (others like the gimp launch quite fast). Staroffice takes about 5 seconds to show splash screen, and other 5-6 seconds to launch, which is ok if you launch it once for good, but if you close star office for all documents, it's quite troublesome (like all windows users do).
The applications on the t1000's are: staroffice firefox thunderbird desktop tools (calculator, dictionary...) then we provide access to other applications like: on solaris sparc (v880) CAD tools financial tools on linux x86 audio tools fonts production tools on windows adobe suiteSo the t1000's are acting like a hub to access all applications. They scales very well, and even if they are slower for some things, they don't slow down with many users.
Feel free to ask for any details. Regards -- Kuon CEO - Goyman.com SA http://www.goyman.com/ "Computers should not stop working when the users' brain does."
