Im planning to buy a couple of Sun x64 servers to deploy 20-30 SunRay users
in them, i have to use RHEL 4 btw.
Any suggestion for the specs of the servers would be much appreciated :)
I got two Sun X4200 (with 2 dualcore opteron (that's 4 * 2,6GHz ) and 16GB
ram in each, dual PSU, raid1 for the systemdisk) running RHEL AS 4 with 25
users. It runs fine and I got 25 mathematicians doing mostly browsing,
email, and sometimes matlab. I'm very pleased. The system will later run
40 users and I wont need another server for this.

Do note that I run all this in 32bit mode.
I even wrote a quick howto (but i didn't document the redundancy step yet)

You can go from a new uninstalled server to a running system in a couple
of hours since they are Red Hat certified. \o/
Good luck.

ps: i guess you could manage with slower machines, but I wouldn't do it.
This is my personal opinion.
