Remember if all the traffic is between the workstations and the server,
i.e the workstations don't talk to each other (no local apps), then most
of the benefit of a switch is wasted in an LTSP environment because the

The Dell server mounts the user filesystems on the Netware box.

windows servers to Windoze machines so that usage will be climbing.

Hi,
I've not found any hard figures for what the sensible sizing of an ltsp based
network should be. Linux' good use of buffers and cache makes it difficult to
evaluate on a little network how the thing will scale. I've been trying out
three X-terminals against a box with 384 MB RAM, and that
