Re: [Ltsp-discuss] LTSP5 ltsp-5 with VIDEO MOVIE playback on client+ very high resolution

[Steve H. <Steve@KoreHiCom.com>]

We found on a 6gb HP server with 2 duo core CPU's that we could get 10 =
people watching U tube videos through IE on a Windows Terminal Server.

I have tried this on a more limited basis with LTSP on ubuntu feisty =
fawn install. We find that each iteration of firefox running on the =
server takes at least 10% of the cpu per video session. Needless to say =
after 10 or more users it gets way bogged down...

I believe LTSP is best used for non-video applications...

James, do you think there is defference (in this) between FAT and THIN =
