And It work fine. For exemple : to boot = 24 seconds to launch X with KDE-Beta3 = 25 seconds to launch NetscapeCommunicator4 = 17 seconds The server is a Intel BB440FX PII 266 . 128Mo Intel EtherExpress pro 100B the clients are P166 It is connected on a 100M switch port and clients are connected to 16 port HUBs which are connected to 10M switch port On this VLan we have 100 computers (Linux, W95, NT , HPUX) If you want more precisions, ask me. wilfrid /******************************************* * Wilfrid Gaboriaud * La Rochelle * France * e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] * http://www-iut.univ-lr.fr/ * Mime Mail are Welcome *******************************************/ -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
