The main problem would be if you have a card that needs a different nvidia driver. Just ssh to the frontend after it boots and remove and re-install that appropriate packages.


Thanks, Greg. I'll definately have to fix the video drivers as the backend just uses vesa.

If you look at the latest version of the script:

http://linhes.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/LinHES- ... ntend.bash

You will see on line 619 in the section on special tweaks for the author (me) It removes the nvidia package and installs the legacy package. This is because by BE has newer graphics than my (old) FEs. You could do something similar.

Noisy hard drive? I find the fans on the CPU and Power Supply more than drown out any possible noise a hard drive could make.

The one complaint for a HD would be heat. Although, in a frontend, the HD should be getting hit that often...

I may look into diskless in the future, but I have this computer up and running as it is. Don't fix what aint broke, eh? Plus the WAF goes down when stuff breaks because you were "trying something"...


I purposefully selected a quiet power supply, and plugged the CPU fan into 5V rather than 12V. The machine is old enough that it doesn't need a super-duper fan. As a result, I can barely hear it running from a foot away.

To actually contribute to answering your question, I ran du -chs on the NFS root for my diskless frontend and came up with a total of about 3 GB.
