That's not what I meant. The thin client needs an inordinate amount of memory to provide storage for all the data they try and push to the client. Far more than you would really like. It pretty much means a decent LTSP setup with most remote apps requires local swap space (which defeats the principle of a diskless client) or fall back to swap-over-NFS (which isn't bad, in fact it's faster in terms of bandwidth on the Efika, just much higher latency).
It's simple, Matt you told me running OOo remotely like that would cause 100MiB system RAM in the X server, and that the hardware RAM would be mapped in swap. I tried it, and the numbers reported were very much lower. OOo behaved very similarly to DTP publishing software I supported using that method. Frankly, if it's all so hopeless, I wonder why you bother with the boards. You're basically telling everyone that they lack the grunt needed to run general purpose openSUSE usefully, even as a thin client now. If you believe 128MiB doesn't suffice, because of X memory requirement, then you are left with IBM 3270 terminal emulation or something. Surely you should be talking the things up! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
