I would upgrade the server to something with a lot more memory and then launch the apps with X11 forwarding. Thus not needing a NFS server. To launch it you just do a "ssh <server>" then launch the app with "<appname> &". If there is a display problem you might need to include a "-x" with your ssh. So "ssh -x <server>".

Hi.
I want to mount our server's /usr directory on the clients so that they can use scribus and inkscape. I have tried this with our amd server and 1024 Mb ram but it's too slow to be able to do anything with 2 let alone 20 clients. The user's /home directories are mounted from the same box.
Could someone give me the specification for a server to be able to do what I want so that it would run at the same speed as from the client's PII 450's?
Thanks, Steve.
