that aughta do fine =)

I had 20 clients up on a P4 2ghz with 1.5 gig of ram..
it hit swap with 1.5 though...which was BAD...
so definately 4 gb would be worth the expense =)
my cpu load was only intense at the onset of every machine loading OO or
Mozilla all at once =)
after that cpu usage dropped somewhere in 30-40%...but was using about
256 megs of swap =(

In the process of getting a server put together now...
getting some pissy "Bios does not support current stepping for Proc 1
and 2...failed to load processor microcode"
Intel says to flash the bios... *shrugs* so attempting that as well*

Subject: [K12OSN] Size of Server


I am looking at implementing K12LTSP for a lab of 25 
computers. I was wondering how big the server should be to 
handle the load. Also, if built big enough, could one 
server handle 40-50 users. Right now I have a PIII 900 
with 2 GB RAM, upgradable to 4 GB RAM rather 
inexpensively. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead of time.
