We are running a subnetwork with 3 SS 1's, each containing 2x104 MB of disk space and thus able to locally handle OpenWindows, and 2 SS-1+'s with only 1x104 MB on board for which we'll need access to X/OpenWin. We have two alternatives: 1. Buy a 210 MB internal drive from, say, Box Hill Systems; install it on one of the SS-1+ and move its 104 MB drive to the other SS-1+. 2. Put a copy of /usr/openwin on our server (a 3/60) to handle the two SS-1+'s. Access via network. (This 3/60 could be upgraded to a SS-1+ in the near future, but traffic would still be an issue despite speed.) Since we've only installed OpenWindows with the 4.1.1 release less than a week ago and have no experience, we have no idea of what the traffic pattern would be like if we went for solution #2. If you use either of the two alternatives we're looking at, could you please share some of your experiences? Thanks. Gary L. Dare Trumps Split!
