Wow!  That's what I was expecting to be posted in this list.  An actual

Is this already a gigabit ethernet connection from/to the terminal

Yes and I expect that.  But with my original hardware specs, is it
conservative to say that it can already support 50 workstations using
either KDE or Gnome desktop environment and the popular office
applications?
