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>".
Having read this thread and the OP's original thread, I think there may be confusion over *where* the apps need to execute. Are you wanting to execute the apps REMOTELY on the server and display them on the clients, or have the clients load the apps from the server for LOCAL execution? Dylan

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.
