So I take it that running about 60 clients off of one server
should be fine? or does that need to drop down to 40 clients?

I just want to make sure before I make any huge mistakes!

Dear Chad:

The configuration you have are more than enough to run anything even 
in standalone units.

Let me give you my configuration. We have 3 thinclients (PI, 32MB, two 
uses floppy and one uses an old 20MB HDD for network booting) and 
connected to the Thin Server (PIII Celeron 1 Ghz, 256MB) and we are 
running everything as well as the development of the eParliament.org 
on them (I mean for professional purposes for some 9 months) 
including Quanta, Mozilla, Firefox (both), OO, KMail and several 
other stuffs without any problem. (Thanks to Jim ;-)

About 50MB of RAM should be allocated above 128MB to each thinclients, 
in my experience.

Hello all! I am new to the mailing list and would like to have a
experienced opinions on an LTSP project I am currently working on.
I have been commissioned to build a  new Linux network and am
hoping that LTSP will serve my needs.
I am planning on using Fedora Core 3 (or 4, not sure yet) to make
the Thin Network. Using there system specs, how many max Thin
Clients could be on one server?

Thin Server>
    Duel Xeon 3GHz 64bit
    4 Gigs DDR2 memory
    6-500GB SATAII in RAID50 <-home directories
    Gigabit Network

Thin Client>
    P4 2.66GHz 64bit
    512MB DDR2
    Gigabit Network

I am wanting applications like Firefox,Thunderbird, Open Office to
run locally on the Clients to keep server loads down.
I know these machines are not typical of an LTSP build, but it is
what the client wants.
Any input on this config would be greatly appreciated!

~Chad
