I thought I would just like to share a recent experience with thie list and
invite comments. I am ICT coordinator at Skegness Grammar School in England
and I have been running an LTSP network for 7 years. For the last 4 years the
whole school has been LTSP (about 190 clients on 3 application ser
se units bought for Â15
pounds each. At present running 3 application servers and one file server
with backup. All on SuSE 9.1 with full updates.

At Skegness grammar School we have a vacant post for a systems administrator.
If anyone is interested or knows of someone looking for a new post, details
can be found at:
www.skegnessgrammar.org
We run LTSP on about 100 clients and are moving to full Linux implementation.
Kind regards

Definately SCSI and the fastest one you can find. I am using 15k rpm
u160 18gb disks. The problem comes with simultaneous logons and program starts
(probably the norm in a school) where an IDE disk would not cope.

Using ssh to connect to the /home server and running commands directly on it
does not solve the problem. Is there any logical explanation for this
seemingly illogical behaviour.
