WSDc on a Term Server (was RE: Why CODE instead of LPEX?)

[MEovino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

While we're on the subject of WSDc requiring a pretty sturdy machine to
run, is anyone out there running it on a Term Server?  We're big users of
Term Server/Citrix Metaframe throughout our enterprise, and we in the IT
department like to eat our own dog food.

I took Susan Gantner's class on WSDc/CODE yesterday and I can't wait to get
my hands on it, but I'm one of only a handful of people in IT who have an
actual PC (and with a PIII - 800 and 512 MB of RAM, I'm probably going to
get in just under the bar).  I would imagine that the Term Server we'd need
to run it for a shop of 20 developers would be a monster, but is anyone out
there doing it?

Also,
there are a handful of developers who are using older PCs because they're
perfectly adequate (or were, anyway!) for the work that we do.  At a
thousand dollars a pop, it is unrealistic to expect companies to replace
PCs
en masse during a slump in the economy

You raise a good point about the PC hardware.  We are running P4's with
close to 2ghz processors (I forget the exact speed) but only 256 meg of
RAM.
As the WDSc 'guinea pig' I managed to get 512 though.  WDSc runs okay on my
PC but is real slow on the other machines.
