definitly. at freegeek.org we run 10+ machines sans disks by using a diskless setup, and getting their x sessions from another box completely. the server i belive is a dual ppro 180. and we've been using client machines of 486 and pentiums on a 10Mb network.
so, i think you'll be fine with that machine. and if you've got a 100Mb network, that will help things along quite a bit.

Sony RW drive !! Can I use this as a *server* for a 12 machine linux network. !! !! Main workstation uses will be internet research and word processing. I'm !! sure this machine could function fine as a NFS file server and proxy server !! for web pages. Could it handle 12 simultaneous X sessions smoothly? !! Administration would be much easier if One server was doing all security and !! file permission checking, etc. !! !! Thanks in advance, !!
