System sizing for X sessions
Hello all.
I've been tasked with building a system that will have up to 50 concurrent users connected and using an X session running firefox. Is there some kind of standard sizing model available that will tell me what kind of network/CPU utilization I will be looking at?
Or even better some load testing software that will let me test this for myself?
I've only ever built GUI-less systems so I have no good starting point.
Thanks
Shawn
