I have exactly the same problem (we try to click on something but it take a while before it can process correctly), I am using a single Pentium3-800 w/1GB RAM SIS 630 & 20Gb IDE HDD as a LTSP 2.08 Mandrake 8.0 server. My terminals are 15 Pentium 75-16Mb 500Mb HDD & 3c509 NIC. My network is over normal 10Mb hubs. Is it posible to fine tune my current server to accomplish trouble-free LTSP with those 15 terminals? My client has a very low budget and this is my first experience with LTSP configuration. Swap is not currently enable for terminals, if I use local HD swap or swap over NFS, can I expect better performance? Also I think my font server is not properly configured (unix/-1 not 7100), does it can affect performance?
