How's it going? Any pro's and con's to this > approach? Back in 2007, I was the tutor on some courses teaching gschem+pcb to ME students. The computer lab had windows on all machines. I booted some live Linux into ram on each, and had an NFS server running on the network. I can't remember if the software was running off of the NFS, but I am sure the libraries and schematics and PCBs were on NFS. We didn't have any problem other than the usual netowrk file system stuff (when multiple people tried to modify the same files). Regards, Igor2
