Hello all, I have just configured a simple network with one harddiskless computer that boots from a floppy and mounts a remote root through nfs.
Now my questions: - which other alternatives are there? I have heard that nfs has a big overlay. I have also heard about nbd. - is it true, or can you configure your client so, that when using a networked filesystem, it tries to cache as much as possible in memory? - what kind of ethernet is suiteble for a good (fast) working client? How much difference is there between 100Mb and Full Duplex (I may ask the same here, excuse for my veil of ignorance)? Will a server at 200MHz (i586) work fine? Thanks, Sebastiaan
