a slightly strange request

[Uwe Geercken]

funnyly enough, we have the same problem. when I first brought the  
ltsp server in the computerroom, after a while a teacher came in to  
give a lesson (not computer related) and I thought "the server is very  
noisy" and I wanted to shut it down (we were in the initial testing  
phase). It was only then that I realized, that it is the switch that  
is so noisy and after talking to different people they indicated that  
it really disturbs, especially when a test is written in that class.

I would be interested to hear about a recommendation too.

rgds,

uwe
