[luau] Proposed LTSP Server Config

[Michael_Bishop/FARRINCS/HIDOE at notes.k12.hi.us]

I am just starting to build a full blown LTSP lab at our school and I would
appreciate any feed back or ideas about the purchase of our server. Please
take a minute to look at our server config.

It will run K12LTSP RedHat version, IceWM, StarOffice 7, Mozilla and The Rosetta Stone.

I expect this to support at least 50 thin clients running The Rosetta Stone ( http://www.rosettastone.com ) on WINE. As well as allow students to surf
 the net and type out letters.

I know this config might seem like over kill. However, I expect to be running WINE on at least 20-30 thin clients at a time.

Summery of server: Dual AMD Opteron 240s 1.4Ghz, 4GB RAM, 4 x HD SCSI 15K 73.4GB, RAID 0+1, 1Gig Fiber connection.

This is a quote from CDW-G. However they won't provide a warranty. Do you know of any vendors that build and offer warranty and support?
