Hi Anselm,For what its worth I have setup and tested k12ltsp-4.0 based on fedora core 1 with mars-nwe installed and configured then running vmware from the client booting up a dos enviroment with minimal specs , 100MB hd , 16MB ram , and no peripherals the solution works fine and allows the clients acces to to email & internet as well as accpac plus on the netware(mars-nwe) server .
I Have this situation: a server running novell 3.11 with 40 DOS diskless terminals running a
FoxPro application in DOS environment and I have to migrate to a Linux
solution, but the Clients do not have Hard disks. That's why I thought
in a LTSP solution. Don't you think it's possible?
Thanks,
Pei.

I'm newbee in LTSP and I whish to know if I could migrate a novell 4I'm not sure what you want to do. The point about LTSP is *not* having "DOS clients", but the terminals running a very cut-down Linux instead. If you plan replacing the novell server with a linux box: That's possible, but has nothing to do with LTSP in the first place. They can even coexist and collaborate.
with 50 DOS clients to LTSP with 50 DOS clients and also gain
perfomance? Do the server has to be a Dual Processored or a simgle
processored PIV is enough to do the job?
I'd like you to inform about what LTSP is and what it commonly is used for. Reading the mailing list archive could give you a rough idea, www.ltsp.org contains some material and of course you will most of the time find someon on the #ltsp irc channel (irc.freenode.org I think) who's willing to talk about his setup.
If you explain more precisely what "job" has to be done, probably someone can tell you wether you need dual CPU. For running openoffice, java, mozilla, stuff you probably want a *fast* box. More RAM seems to be more important than a faster CPU though, YMMV. This has been discussed several times on this list, so I won't elaborate.
