Hi, Thanks for looking into this. This NGO is spiritual organization. Which explain science behind spirituality. You can visit their website www.spiritualresearchfoundation.org.
They can't spent money on hrdware of servers and their maintainance and it's infrastructure. So I thought it will be better if I can use commodity class systems for server with using clustering technology. On one server their will be following applications running: 1. OpenOffice 2. Tally72 3. Scribus/Pagestream
There are max 50 PCs on one server. Instead of one server I want to use normal PCs approx 2-3 by doing clustering. I have heard about google. They have used normall PCs with cluster.
Please tell me if you want anything else.
Thanks NeeleshG
LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity

See JTD's reply to your post. Reply to my questions. And DONT start a new thread. Reply to the earlier posts to keep the continuity.

Probably what he wants is multiple application servers loaded with OO, tally, Scribus. Load of ~50 users should be balanced by 2-3 such servers. So a load balancing cluster is needed for boot servers and applications servers.
Please see if http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9097 fullfills your needs.

Actually you can use any amd 64 mobo with sata drive and sufficient ram. The drives are quite fast. If the files the clients write are more than 2 MB use jfs else use reiserfs. Use one machine with reiserfs for dhcp + nfs boot, one with jfs for application serving and one more with reiserfs for /home. Your client machines will use their own local ram and X resources while executing. This drastically cuts the server requirements but "increases" the need for better capability clients - celeron 800 or better. However given that the cheapest mobo u can buy now is a via cle clients should not be a problem. In any case you will get only a slightly lesser performance once the app loads as compared to using a local disk.

The "normal" pcs are 64 bit systems with hughe ram and gigabit networks connected to massive storage arrays. By normal they mean high performance of the shelf components.

I've found XFS a better match for file / application serving than jfs for > 4 mb write
