| |
Hi,
I will be setting up an NFS server shortly. It will be tied up to an 100MBit network via 3COM hardware and serve /usr, /opt and /home to about 20 (also Linux, also not installed yet) clients. The distribution I am planning on is Debian 2.1 (mainly because I know it and I know some tools like rsync and rupdate, ruptime, etc which can help in such an installation).
Now. Which NFS implementation should I use? knfsd, the usual NFS, ...? The server will do nothing much else, there is another Linux box serving ISDN traffic, mail, proxy and all the other network stuff. It will probably be something about a P133 with 32MB of RAM and SCSI hardware, is that enough?
Or is keeping /usr, /opt locally and using rsync/rupdate the better idea? Is anyone working in such a constellation?
If this is not for the list, please reply by eMail. Thanks!
