I have 65 terminals on an IBM Xserver and still haven't seen a decline
in performance.<br>

<pre wrap="">Ahh yes, that looks like the problem. I forgot when the server moved,
the link changed from a local site being 100 to a 10 Base over fiber. I
just tested at the new site where the server is and much better on the
10/100 network.
So our 3 fiber uplinks to other buildings will have to be upgraded most
likely. At the same time I know the director of technology's vision is
to have 4-5 terminals per classroom which will help justify upgrading
the backbone hardware to a gigabit solution. Probably looking at
implementing around 250 terminals at our Alternative, Middle, and High
School District.
What's the ratios usually to client per server - 50 terminals per
server?
Anyway, just some side notes, but thanks for the feedback...

<pre wrap="">Hello,
The thing that sped up the graphics a lot was the
network equipment I had. Before getting new hardware,
the clients were getting something like 0.5 frames per
second in the real graphically intensive TuxMath. Then
I upgraded the client's network cards to 100mbit and
put in a switch instead of a hub. The new switch also
had a gigabit upload to the server. I started to get
5-10 frames per second on TuxMath. I bet I could get
higher framerates with better clients but I am stuck
with 133 and 166 pentiums (they don't even have
MMX!).(All fps numbers are my approximation of the
real fps.)
In summary, if you are getting less than 5 fps it is
most likely your network setup. If you want to get
something like 15+ fps. I say get better clients with
better video cards.

<pre wrap="">Hello!,
One of the issues I have come across is the video
performance using the
k12 terminal server. For basic stuff its fine but
load something more
graphical such as TuxMath it can take serveral
minutes to load. I
assume its a coding/development/technology issue
because if I remotely
connect using VNC, all applications are loading
almost instant including
more graphical ones such as TuxMath.
Are there settings I can change for this performance
issue? Is it part
of the PXE boot image or server settings itself?
Network related?
It doesn't seem to be hardware related, I have used
a homemade built
terminal and a terminal from
disklessworkstations.com. The result is
still the same...
Any help is appreciated...
Thanks,
Adam Reitsma
