Hello out there. I would like your comments on a projected system
which I would like to purchase. The field is still open as far as
brand is concerned, but I want to know some general characteristics
of the system I want.
The system should be able to handle 40-60 users comfortably. Most of
the users will be doing word processing (using WordPerfect of some
other one of that type -- not troff); there will be some program
development and a few users will be working on a data base. I know I
need several gig of disk storage for this, but my main questions are
what processor(s) should I be using; has any particular file system
been optimized for block operations (I assume the data base would use
these); what kind of should I use intelligent terminal servers (I
would assume so); etc. Please be as specific as you can about what
kind of system would be best.
Thanks in advance; any advice by you UNIX gurus out there will be
appreciated.
John
Any comments, please send by email, as I get very far behind on this group.
Thanks.
