No reply as yet. Another hardware related question I want to ask is it a good idea to use the LTSP server as the allpurpose server (ie. Windows Domain logon server, file server, internet gateway, etc..) or is it better to split the services between computers. The optimal memory requirements and hard drive usage of a file server and a terminal server may be very different, and therefore both could be optimized better with their own machines. E.g. The file server may have bigger hard drives optimized for reliability and backup purposes, whereas the terminal server might have more ram and smaller hard drive set up of fast access.
On the other hand, using one powerful machine may do both jobs quite adequately but all the eggs would be in one basket and if anything went wrong the whole system would go down. Overall I am looking for the most cost effective solution, but I want decent performance also. I have also heard that there are advantages to using a standalone computer for the internet gateway/firewall.
