[gentoo-user] LTSP server requirements
hi, I'm considering to setup LTSP server with one terminal (old IBM Pentium 200Mh RAM32) attached. If i get from windows box one specific dos application and all data run under dosbox I'll go for LTSP unless there should be expensive hardware upgrades on server what I'm googling around cant find or info is sort of outdated. Terminal will launch dosbox, whatever browser to access bank, OO and some solitare. Server then should be this AMD Athlon 64 / 3200 with 512 RAM, two 30GB and 180GB Maxtor 7,2K rpm ATA drives, 1,2GB swap. Is this enough for one terminal with server still runing desktop. Somewhere heard that each terminal takes 100MB RAM, is it true? What else I should take in account? martins -- Linux 2.6.15-rc2 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ 13:30:19 up 51 min, 3 users, load average: 1.12, 1.07, 0.74 pgpKTeWI6EVdM.pgp Description: PGP signature

That server will do for one thin client, actually for two or three - after that, you need more ram.
