I'm actually understating it as well. Brian setup a classroom with 30
desktops ( P100 to P233, I think ) and a $1500 server that was supposedly
much more powerful than it needed to be. That was a year ago, so prices hav=
e
also dropped...

He worked with donated boxen and that doesn't include infrastructure (
switches, networking, etc. ), so I stayed with 20 workstations to give us
some leeway. He says all 20 workstation fly as far as usage.

The demo I saw had a P75 that flat blew away my 900MHz athlon.

As I put in another post, I hope we can have a 6 station node setup for the
InstallFest. More stations if we have deskspace in the demo area.
