[K12OSN] A couple of questions

[Brad Smith]

Hi all,

I've recently been contacted by a school in my area (San Diego, CA)
that has a bunch of old G3s and PowerBooks which they'd like to turn
into a useful computer lab. Though I've never used ltsp before I knew
of it and it was the first solution that popped into my head for this
scenario. However, I do have a few questions:

1) We'll use an x86 machine for the server, obviously, but how beefy
would it need to be to handle a network of about 30 clients? I'm sure
this gets asked a lot but I didn't see it on the FAQ.

2) I've been reading the mac-client guide at 

http://www.k12ltsp.org/mac/LTSPppc.txt 

...does anyone have any first-hand experience/erratta that they'd like
to share about this process before I begin?

3) Are there any significant differences between k12ltsp and ltsp
propper except that ltsp seems designed to run over an existing Linux
system and k12ltsp is it's own Fedora-based distribution?


Thanks in advance for any help that can be rendered.
