To finish this thread: I had another lecture in computer lab today. We
had 2GB RAM, very very big swap and 15 rather slow students with
allmost no experiences with computer algebra systems ( = short
worksheets and not many requests in short time). No problem occured
today.
I hope, this information could be usefull for some other educators
using sage.
Thank you for your help.
