[ok-mail] [K12OSN] Scalability (long email)

[norbert]

Hi,

Has anyone setup rdesktop with linux on 20 + workstations ? (With Win2K) 
and what specs are needed for the Win2K server to handle the load.
We've setup a P-II 500 Mhz with 512mb ram and can barely launch 3 
connections. The response is incrediblly SLOW....

thanks for the input
