i'd probably use one read-only persistency over nfs for all clients
(will need some patches to make it work) in such a scenario, and
update the persistency on the nfs server whenever required.
I'm not willing to have a server for this, for a number of reasons:
* I would be forced to work only on the server, and probably only when
all the clients are down
* a server would become crucial for the work of too many people
* a system with a single server does not scale up well: if the number
of clients grows, the overall performance goes down, and/or its cost
grows up
* the clients are in use in a school: at the beginning of a lesson all
the clients will have simultaneous requests to the server
* every single client is powerful enough to run a standalone system
with a good performance
I think a system like the one I'm proposing would be very interesting
for all the applications with many identical systems, like schools.
Does anyone have had good/bad experiences in a similar context?
Thank you,
Davide Natalini
