[RHCE] the LTSP server

[Jason Tower]

no formula per se.  run top and keep adding stations until you swap heavi=
ly=20
(then add more memory) or until cpu usage gets too high (then get a faste=
r=20
box).  you'll sustain way more users with a lightweight WM like xfce,=20
fluxbox, etc than with gnome or kde.  standard 100Mb ethernet should be m=
ore=20
than fast enough for dozens of users.
