could any of you at slug , spare a few lines regarding the following I am teaching computing on an exiting network .It has a standalone machine in the same room that could run Linux AND ACT AS A SERVER . We wish to use the machine for around 2 hrs a day to allow 6 users to access visual basic from 6 of our 40 workstations. Add ing that idle machine ot the newtwork would raise the number of servers on the network to 3. The machine we wish to press into service needs to let 6 BUT not more than 6 users access VB6 at any one time ( licence limit for VB is 6) from any 6 of the 40 workstations Does any version of linux have a ulitity or run a utility that allows only 6 at most to log on to VB . if so would ...VB be installed completely on all the w/stations or ...would VB have some or all of its files on the linux server ...would the spped of the linux server for VB be an issue ..the leftover machine that ...is being considered is a 60 MHz 486 with a 500 Meg Hard drive ...usage of 1 to 2 hours per day be OK as it be switched off at all other times. reagrds B Brown email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] The other servers on the network are a netware4.11 (file and print ) server and a linux server acting as an internet server. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
