  • Very cool indeed. Got a few questions to ask you, if you don't mind answering :)

    1. which linux distro did you use for CZ server?

    2. what is the name of application used to measure throughput or network activity? (the one with graph and and the one with 'xxx-ng' that showed interface activity).

    Cheers!

  • @shsn25

    ad.1 It was Debian (if I good remeber 3.1 sarge)

    ad.2 bwm-ng [Bandwidth Monitor NG] (showed interface activity); speedometer (graphs)

  • The fun part is entering in all those product keys.

  • @kc2jga

    Product key was delivered by unattend.xml :) (MOLP - Microsoft Open License Pack)

  • I remember this, I was the admin for one of these and we would do 12 computers at one using PXE...the fun times. I do wonder though, are you using Gigabit or 100 Mb/s? We were limited to 100 Mb/s per the speed of our switch :(

  • @DellPrecisionM60

    Connection between server and switch was 1000Mb/s but notebooks were connected to 100Mb/s ports only

  • How you do that?

  • You Sir are full of win... love the basement office too.

    Couple of things. iftop / iptraf instead of reading proc net... Issue magic packets via a multi-threaded script which should be more instantaneous than issuing -f.

    Now how do you deliver the image over the network ? 500MB/min ~ 60MB/s == 60 x 33 x 8 = 16gbps :o

  • i hope i accumulate enough old computers one day to try this out.
