the server needs to have a moderately fast cpu and, for ten
workstations, i'd
say 512mb ram minimum. and two nics, one for the main lan and one for
the
thin clients. for the workstations, it helps if they all have the same
video
cards and nics, but most popular cards are supported (not all, however).
and
we'll need a seperate hub/switch for the workstations since they run on
a
seperate subnet isolated from the mail lan. i may have a spare cisco
24-port
switch that i can spare for a little while. and i can possibly loan out
one
of my servers if necessary. poor excuse for an ascii diagram:
|-------------------------------|
| eth0 |----->LAN, dhcp client (10.0.0.x)
| LTSP server |
| eth1 |-----> thin client hub, dhcp server,
(192.168.0.254)
|-------------------------------|
rock, can you post the specs for the server and workstations?
