[K12OSN] almost there...

[Paul Nelson]

There are three bottlenecks:

1) Bandwidth - Tell us about the network setup. For 23 machines you
should have at least a 24 port, 100base switch. Better would be a 24
port, 100base switch with a gig uplink to a gig card on the server.

2) Hard drive - With more than 10 clients you'll need a scsi hard drive
for /home.

3) RAM - you'll want 500mb for the server OS plus 50mb each for clients.
For 23 machines you'd need 1.5+gigs of ram. More would be better.

So to get any help you'll have to tell us what you have in terms of 1,
2, 3, and I bet we'll find your problem.
