hi, and thanks for this - its not so much CPU load I am concered about but
the ability to read files stored on the server. Any idea what kind of
transfer rates you get when everyone tries to access the serveR?
thanks

Mark,
Here's what I have installed:
270 Windows Workstations, most Win98. 1 Linux server that currently
runs Samba for print services, logon services, file services, WINS
service, Netbios service; DHCP; Squid for Internet Proxy of all my
workstations; Apache for our intra and Internet server.
The server is a Dell Optiplex GX1 _desktop_. 400Mhz PIII processor, 30
GB IDE harddrive, 128MB of memory.
I've been monitoring CPU load for over 3 weeks now to determine what
else I can put on this server, and my load has rarely been over 5%.
HTH,
Mike

I intend to install a network of 110 Windows Workstations into an
Educational establishment. The server would (naturaly!) be running
linux & samba (2.2 if it is released as stable in time). I would like
to store CD images for the workstations to access, as well as the server
acting as a logon client. I understand that this would be quite a large
demand on any server - so I am looking for suggestions of how powerful a
server would need to be - or if I would need more than one.
Many thanks
Mark
