We are considering taking the above mentioned hardware and setting up a terminal server to improve the workstation performance of the users on our network. We have a few questions before we begin. What is a good win98-ish GUI? As we have not yet run terminal services, what if any special administration is nessicary? How much server resoruces should be budgeted for each workstation? What is the stability of the terminals? What is the stability of the server? Can a user hang just his terminal? Will a hung terminal hang the server? What if any reliability issues will we need to address. What uptimes can we expect from a terminal server? Can standard redhat updates break k-12ltsp? I am shure as we begin this project more questions will come up, we look forward to your reply and exploring terminal services on Linux. -- ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
