Hello everyone,
I volunteer at a Weightman Middle School in Wesley Chapel and there's a
computer lab full of iMacs (about 30). I've finally gotten Linux installed on
one of them, and now I'm going to use the one as an NFS server for the others
that I plan on booting into Linux as diskless workstations. But the Tech
coordinator voiced some trepidation about this as it relates to bandwidth,
because even though there is a ton of Macs in that school, bandwidth still is
ridiculously small. So, my question is: how much bandwidth does NFS use? How
much will it affect the network? Are there any other questions I should be
asking? Any suggestions?
The reason for all of this is the GIMP. Photoshop licenses aren't cheap!
There's an art professor that comes in to the school to teach some of the
more artistically gifted students every so often. I don't know his schedule,
though, which means I haven't been able to show him this free software yet.
So I figure this is a great use for Linux! :-D
