We primarily use it as a Samba file server for our home network. Occassionally I run a lower spec PC off of it as a thin client. It works okay, though the graphical environment (whether Gnome or KDE) and Firefox are a little slow to load, and Firefox especially is a little sluggish even after it's loaded. Though I'm sure more memory would fix that problem. I don't think I've tried running more than one thin client at a time off of it, though I could try that this evening just to see what would happen.</DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">David Whitmer<BR><BR></DIV> <DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">----- Original Message ----<BR>From: Jason Neiffer <neiffer@gmail.com><BR>To: K12OSN@redhat.com<BR>Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 11:22:47 AM<BR>Subject: [K12OSN] Server specs....how low can you go?<BR><BR>I am working with a small business who is looking for 2-3 workstations to surf the Internet on a broadband connection they have going into their shop.
