So the Dell box is only apps, cpu and ram for the clients, the major file
system is on a different box? Do you mount that NFS system straight into the
X-terminals or through the Dell?

That's really surprising. I've been told that about 2Mb/s of bandwidth should
be allocated to each X-terminal, but that would seem a way too conservative
figure. Anyway, I had planned on a switched network to make sure no problems.

We're spending a fair amount of time translating KDE and will be using that.
It's more heavy than IceWM or the other lightweights both on resources at the
server and the network, but we'll have to live with that. It's important to
show something fairly similar to that other desktop - mostly because of the
teachers.
Thanks for taking the time to respond.
