Re: Linux Server



Hi, Well we have been thinking along the following lines: 

a dual PII 350Mhz with 0.5GB RAM, 9GB diska. 

Two tings worry me, 

a) does the Linux or programs like the window manager, can run "multiple
copies" economically, i.e. if one users needs sau 20MB for the core of the
WM, the second user needs much less?, well i am sure that computer
system experts know what i mean!!!! i cant remember the currect term to
use for this.

b) How important is the internal cache of the CPU? is a PII enough. 

Thanks, 
adham
