Hello,
I think about building a X2go server for about 30 sessions at the same time with XFCE, Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice. Not sure about which hardware to use.
I would say this: 4GB for the system 4GB for shared binaries like Firefox, Thunderbird, LibreOffice 1GB for a user what I would give 4GB on a fat client. 2GB for a power-user what I would give 8GB on a fat client.
When I count on 5 powerusers and 25 normal users I would say 35GB + 8GB =43GB.
Not sure about the shared binaries, is this "per processor"?
I think about a server with 2 processors. I think one processor is enough, but it's not expensive to find a used one with 2 processors and much memory.
I think about running it virtualized with Qemu/KVM/libvirt what also will take some memory. I think 48 GB is a correct RAM size.
Please correct me when I am wrong!
I guess it will be possible to run a server with 16GB with 30 sessions, but it will be "not nice". What is your experience?
With regards, Paul van der Vlis
