Snipped out most of your OP. This size of scale up would be very interesting to watch and I look forward to updates. In the past I tried doing a scale up using OpenMosix but OO does not survive process transfer from one server to another. Time and equipment constrains prevented a second trial. Some one else posted on the list about running 100+ clients but that was in CLI base and not GUI. I do not think it would be NFS constrain but hardware / networking constrain to serve 2100 clients. If you can provide for this and server farm can be setp this would be intersting. -- Sudev Barar Learning Linux ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
