LTSP testing in Jaunty - how fat is local apps?

[David Van Assche]

Interesting,
   When you say too much what do you mean? The clients are slow? cpu
or ram is affected? Could you check with htop or the like while
running stuff... what programs are you running?

I've found fatclient to be sufficient on 800mhz + 300mb+ (ram more
important than cpu)

kind Regards,
David Van Assche
