[K12OSN] Suggestions on Server Deployment

[David Ackerman]

We have been using K12ltsp for 4 clients for a few months, with no major
problems.  We want to expand things now and need some advice.

1)       We want to provide email for our students.  

2)       We want to provide network folders for students.

3)       We want to filter internet traffic to the student network (which
will mostly be Windows computers).

 

We have very little money, so K12ltsp is a nice option.  We are also looking
at doing some of the above with an additional Ubuntu server, but this would
be mean two servers and the problem of network folders, filtering and
backup.

 

Can we do all of the above with one K12LTSP server?  What potential problems
are there of having an email server and LTSP on the same computer?  Can the
clients cause the whole system to hang, thus email is not working?  Can K12
also filter Windows machines hooked up to it?  How effective will K12 be as
an email server and LTSP server?

 

Any advice would be helpful as we take our next steps.

 

Thanks,

 

David
