No problem... if you want to use the server for providing boot services alone, you should be fine using an old 486... ;-)) > 2) What network speed is recommend ? This is much more important than the server performance. But for 50 client systems, a 100 mbit/s TP network should be more than sufficient for the boot process. The network speed should depend more on the type of applications you are going to run on the clients. > 3) What Ram is required for Server ? Minimum I would say 16 MB - if you don't want to run a graphical user interface, which is IMHO not suitable for a server anyway. > 4) What Ram is required for the client ? Depends on what operating system and applications you want to run on your clients. > 5) Any useful website ? like > "Netboot how to" available ? Not yet. Take a look at http://netboot.sourceforge.net for some information. If someone wants to write any howto please feel free to do so. I would be happy to include any pointers into the netboot home page. gero. -- Gero Kuhlmann Tollenbrink 18 Groote Gracht 33 gero@gkminix.han.de 30659 Hannover 26723 Emden gero.kuhlmann@arcor.de 04921/997561 =========================================================================== This Mail was sent to netboot mailing list by: "Gero Kuhlmann" <gero@gkminix.han.de> To get help about this list, send a mail with 'help' as the only string in it's body to majordomo@baghira.han.de.
