I haven't done it yet, but I plan to. Yesterday I had my server "heavy" day. Things worked at normal speeds. I am not sure what happened last week. However the server was extremely slow. I used the System Monitor and watched it all day. Yesterday, when things were slow it was either: a lot of network usage or CPU usage, but not both. In the morning the students were on Window boxes using Flash and Samba. I think some of them were working directly off of the server: saving/executing. I think that might have slowed things down. I asked them to copy the file onto their desktops and work from there and then save it to their folders. It seemed to work a bit better. During the afternoon (they were on a Linux box), there was no noticable lag. I also asked the students to try to use Opera instead of Firefox. They complained a bit but it was nice to see the CPU numbers go down. I'm hoping that it'll stay this way for at least the rest of the week. =] Thanks for all your help! <hr /> <a href='' target='_new'></a></body> </html>
