That spec is absolutely bull. There is no way LTSP runs in that with Xubuntu OR openSUSE 11.x.
No it'd be an LTSP set up, not Xubuntu. Reviews of LTSP have emphasised that it runs on older otherwise unusable hardware, so your findings are suprising.
FYI, the real Edubuntu LTSP requirements; https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToCookEdubuntu/Chapters/HardwareRequire... Note; 48MB of RAM in the client about gets you an xterm. Firefox etc. run very badly in a remote session because of the way it caches bitmaps. OpenOffice or any other office client is just as bad. The LTSP page mentions watching multimedia clips - ha. Good luck. The recommended specs; we meet them, but this is still barely useful under LTSP. We actually had the resources to try out a system based on a Sun T1000 and multiple networked clients; http://projects.powerdeveloper.org/project/efika/338 Works well enough. -- Matt Sealey <matt@genesi-usa.com> Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
