Let's get real on these prices folks. A 120 MB disk? That *might*
work if your user directories are mounted with NFS. I don't know the exact
numbers, but I bet after AIX 3.x and Xwindows is loaded plus swap
space, 120MB is barely adequate.
Add a SCSI adapter and large hard disk please == $$$$$.
I doubt IBM will have their diskless version working well for quite a
while. Anyone know the exact disk space requirements? Recommended swap
space?
First you complain about 120Mb being too small and then you want diskless.
I've used RT's with a 70MB disk with user files NFS mounted. I'd rather
have thsi configuration than a diskless product. System stuff goes much
faster.
Of course big disks cost money, but that's true of any system. So what's
your gripe?
