80 clients does not yet seem too demanding, this should work fine with a single server. It all depends a bit on how the clients are operated. If all are started at the same time (classroom where all are powered on at the start of the lesson) you have a higher peak workload as when they are started randomly (normal work places or public pools etc.). Disk I/O on the server should not be the problem if you have enough RAM to buffer the working set of files that are accessed during operation. 1-2 Gigabyte should be sufficient. Network I/O will be more probably the limiting factor in a classroom scenario. I would use a Gigabit uplink for the server. -- Bye, Tobias Abt levigo systems gmbh ----------- ein unternehmen der levigo gruppe Max-Eyth-Strasse 30 Telefon: 07031 / 4161-10 D-71088 Holzgerlingen Telefax: 07031 / 4161-11 Geschäftsführer: Oliver Bausch http://systems.levigo.de/ Registergericht: Stuttgart HRB 245 180 USt-ID: DE813226078 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ The Open Source Thin Client Solution http://openthinclient.org [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openthinclient-user
