If it's the type of situation where all 25 machines are going to log on
at once, like in a lab where all the students sit down and fire up the
machines together, I think there would be some *serious* lag there. Once
everyone's going, then you'd be fine. I'm running just a few machines
from a P-III 700 and load times are rough, so with 25 even on a faster
processor...

If you wanna do it on the cheap(not looking for growth)...

Grab an AMD 2000+ chip with about 3 gigs of ram...
40 gig hd if ppl aren't saving too much stuff to the server...
the gigabit ethernet is very helpful...

and that'll hold ya quite easily...
