Greetings. I am a consultant to a small school in need of a IT overhaul. I have some HP-UX experience, but am new to the Linux world (like most people, I guess).
We are trying to extend the life of a bunch of Pentium/Windows 98 workstations with 32 mB RAM by replacing Microsoft Office with OpenOffice (or StarOffice, free since my client is a school). Since 64mB RAM is the nominal requirement, I'm wondering if I can make better use of the meager desktop hardware by running OpenOffice on the Linux server and displaying it on the desktops using the Windows version of XFree86. 1. Would this configuration work? 2. Would it perform better on 32mB workstations than running OpenOffice locally? 3. Would I need to use Linux Terminal Services? Thanks, Dave Burch Hamilton, Ohio
