Hi
I had done a similar setup long back with NIS and NFS . The NIS
authenticated all users and whenever some on logged in his home was exported
via NFS. It was done on RH 7.2 long back when I was working at CAS
calicut.
Instead of NIS you can use LDAP to authenticate. There are alternatives
for NFS like NBD.
Our college uses LTSP thin clients and we have a Xeon server with 8 GB
ram it can smoothy support GNOME on some 25 clients . IF you go for XFCE or
LXDE or ICEWM it can run around 40 to 50 clients seamlessly.
So, I don't seem much advantage in your proposed set up. Also. most of
the engineering syllabus can be done using text mode :D
Anyway, please post your progress in the project back to the list.
Sunil
