-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi I have asked Mark (lighthouse music hub) what sort of kit then need, and it seems they will take anything, I just wondered if anyone had any kit they no longer needed, even if its old network cable, cat 5 plugs, right up to cases, etc.
I'll have a look and see what I have, I maybe able to donate something.
I have a feeling they will work with minimal ram (i.e. about 32MB) as long as they have some swap but they will run a tad slowly. The Exwick LTSP clients have about 256MB each.Its better than them being put in a skip, and if they work and in the way they can be given a new home. I know on occasion lug members have posted they have kit to give away, so if anyone has anything perhaps. If anyone can help please let me know it looks. I have also asked if they are going down the ltsp or desktop route. I guess the latter makes life easier, I have stacks of PC100 + PC66 memory here, if PC's are quite old. What sort of min RAM is recommended for LTSP clients.?
The main requirement for memory on LTSP installations is the actual server, I seem to remember it being a minimum of 512MB + 64MB for each client. I've recently installed an LTSP server running Ubuntu 9.10 for a client which is running in a VM on an Opteron 1352 (Quad Core 2.1Ghz) and gave it 1 virtual CPU and 1GB Ram and it runs reasonably well. Of course it really depends what they want to do and how many clients they want.
