Re: Multiple Clients

Hi Jim

Is NFS swap needed in your LTSP project? The reason I am asking, my client
seems to run out of memory when I run netscape and other applications.To
get over this I have to patch NFS swap into the client kernel. For this we
cannot upgrade our kernel to 2.2.X.We are still using 2.0.35.

Thanks
