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>".
THanks. I'd never thought of that. Is it quicker than using nfs? I'm going to try it anyway. But our students expect to click an icon on the kde desktop to launch an application. Is that possible within your scheme? I can ssh -X to the server no problem but I have to do it in a terminal window. Cheers. Steve
