I'll try that. But do you know how it differs from a Fedora Core base
distribution? Because if it's just about installing LTSP on a base
distribution's installating, i'm already doing that.

I searched google and found out many people saying that they got working
computer labs with ltsp and on average 15 clients, just fine with these
servers, like p4 2.0Ghz and 512mb of ram.

I also asked a friend of mine yesterday and he said to me that he had set up 3
computer labs with LTSP just fine, but with other distribution (he doesn't use
fedora core). I said my server hardware (P4 2.0Ghz with 1.5GB of RAM) and he
said that it's more than good enough.

So, these problems with me are happening only with Fedora Core. I must speak
with someone who has implemented Fedora Core and LTSP just fine, but I can't
find anyone that did it.
