- I have a DECstation 5000/240 targetted as an applications and file server
- for roughly 30-40 DECstation 5000/25 Maxines. No one client is going to
- be any major load. No user files or critical OS files are going to be
- on the server, just some applications that are best served (FrameMaker),
- and a few work-related files. I intend to run the server as a mail and
- Hesiod "hub", and it may be called upon to serve a half-dozen MS-DOS
- clients via NFS as well as what's listed above. The server has 32 MB
- of RAM, plenty of disk, and will be headless, to the best of my knowledge.
-
- My question is: What sort of configuration changes will I need to
- be doing to optimize the performance and effectiveness of the 240
- as a server? What sort of software should I be running? Help!
