Hi,
We are close to having a K12ltsp system for a local school. Finally!
We managed to find a used Dell server with two 1gig processors and 3
gigs of RAM. Since our original budget for a new server was slashed to
nothing this will do nicely under the circumstances.
We'll probably start with one or two classrooms (6 - 12 terminals) at
first and expand until we fill all the classrooms or the server gets too
slow.
There are a number of docs on the net about server hard drive
partitioning but nothing that seems geared specifically to K12LTSP or
LTSP. Any words of wisdom would be a great help.
This server has six 8.4gig scsi hard drives. One drive will probably be
left for a failover so we really have 8.4*5= 42 gig of usable space.
What would be a good way to partition these 5 drives to provide the best
speed using K12LTSP?
Many thanks,
Barry
