Hi, I have a project that involves using LTSP (Linux Terminal Server Project) for a minimum of 50 Thin Clients who will be basicly surfing the net and reading and sending mail (hope not spam). The project has to be as secure as possible by design (from internal net and external net) since it is for a government office. They want users to be only allowed from their designated machines and in the future they may add, remove restrictions either by department or by user. The server will be dual CPU (either PIII or XEON) with a minimum of 2GB RAM in addition to hardware raid. Thin Clients are Pentium 133 with the best chance 64 MB Ram ( 32 MB is what they have currently) LTSP is using NFS and it also has NFS swap (which I did not like the idea as I am sure it will affect performance.) along with kernel 2.4.9 made from vanilla kernels. I need some opinions for the following 1) Kernel 2.2.19 or 2.4.17 from SuSE vs LTSP 2.4.9 kernel 2) Using of Coda file system (or another suggestion) vs NFS 3) Using LDAP vs NIS 4) KDM or GDM or XDM Thanks for any pointers or share of experience -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
