Setting up a Sparcstation lab.

[Greg Wohletz]

|We are considering setting up a small lab of SUN Sparcstations and were 
|wondering if anyone else had had experiences (good or bad) with a similar
|setup. Here is what we are considering:
|
| 1.) ~10 Sparcstations, each with 8M of memory and a single 104M local disk
|     for paging and temp space.
| 2.) An additional Sparcstation with ~2G of SCSI disk space to act as a
|     file server for 1.).

We have 25 sparactations here, each has 8 meg and a load 104M disk.  Our
experiance has been that 8M of memory is not sufficient.  With about 3
windows open, and a C compile going the machine will page heavily.  We are
planning on uping most of ours to at least 12Meg.
