Re: [school-discuss] ltsp server specs question

I think a more important way to go is to explain what the use of the server will be. Â Âyou mention 50 clients.. Â so please tell us what those clients will access on the server. Â Since you say only 25% at a time I can immediately cross out the potential that they are thin clients, yet it still leaves us guessing... Â what is the intended use of the server... ÂÂ

what type of box is this server to be housed in? Âwill it run 24/7? Â Â etc...

Dear Schoolforge,

If you have experience with ltsp, would you comment on the following specs for a new server for a small school (50 clients and another possible 100 laptops ... usually only 25% of those on-line).

DA SPECS:

CPU I5-2400 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 3y warranty
MB asus p8z68-v lx   Â3y
RAM 4GB Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â LT
Power Supply 850W Â Â Â5y
two 500GB HDs 7200RPM
no dvd drive
no graphics card, onboard graphics only

We're asking because this page is a bit old:
