Hi, I have a few specific questions about a possible TS setup. As you may have seen in my previous post, I'm looking for a good setup for a couple of debian machines (somewhere around 8 to 10) in a school environment. I have a bunch of older machines (P3 500 with 128Mb RAM) that have some trouble running XP smoothly. I don't need a lot of functionality, basically, the next items are required: * browser (firefox) * office (openoffice)
The responses on my previous post pointed me to LTSP, which I already knew. My questions are the following: * If I would opt for clients that use a remote X-server (XDMCP), I believe I would need quite a strong server (CPU and RAM). Is this correct? * The second option is a central image, which gets booted via Etherboot. I believe that this setup would be a good alternative. Is it correct to assume that the only function of the server is to serve the image, and thus doesn't need powerful hardware? Can anyone elaborate on the system requirements? The machines would be connected to one 100Mbit switch. I would opt for the OS-image read only on an NFS-share and maybe use the local HDD for swap.
