... oh god.
It would be OK, if you pay people money so they use your VPS.
By the way, it's not for a commercialize.just for the use of my university students.
Yep, lets start hosting people on 40MHz.
Well do the maths yourself.
1860 / 30
CPU - 62 Mhz per VPS if they all use their own share. But this is variable which means some will use 500Mhz and some will use next to nothing, making performance crappy for everyone.
RAM - 66Mb per VPS and same rules as above apply
I/O - Jesus.
Kimsufi huh.
OVZ could work. If it is only to move packets around at low rate, might even be responsive, IO should be avoided, as well as any java, php, dynamic pages in general.
Could work as back-up, tho, just pray there are no more than a couple of ppl doing backup at the same time, especially on highly encrypted schemes, tunnels and such.

@telephone ur comment really made my day.lol
Which will never ever happen.
That's what cpuunits and cpulimits are for. http://wiki.openvz.org/Resource_shortage#CPU
If these are 64MB Guaranteed RAM VPSes, where exactly is the problem?...
In short, if set up right, this can work reasonably ok (and too bad you edited your post, the original question "Celeron/Atom 1.2Ghz as a VPS node" was valid), assuming your users understand these are low-spec VPSes and are not paying to use them,
...which I see is exactly the case.
Great idea, hands down.
It would be possible, I am one of the ppl that really squeeze the machines at max, but it depends how correct are the ppl, otherwise will have to work a lot to setup limits and it will still be slow as the machine will be busy with enforcing the limits rather than doing anything else.

Your being to nice to your students.
At most do a Pentium III with 256MB of ram and a old 10Gb IDE drive
.
or to have fun, old 166Mhz IBM processor, 32MB of ram and 1.8GB Drive
I mean, isn't college suppose to be difficult :>
You could probably get a few MC servers on there.
What would that VPS be used for? The only reasonable use i can see are IRC bouncers, static webpages and maybe SSH tunnels.
Also keep in mind IP prices
@buyoq if only for learning linux. why not just give your students user accounts each, instead of vps. then maybe you can cram more people into the 2GB Atom.
IPv6 is very cheap!
My development box was a dualcore Atom with 4GB RAM and had nos issue with 5-10 256MB RAM VPS on it.
He could likely get them for free from the Universitys datacenter.
Still, a long way to 30 :P
As I said, it is not impossible, but the margin is really thin.
In the times I had a d510 board with 4 gb, it did pretty well, with vmware server, openvz and vbox. I do have some load on my vpses so i never went further than 4-5.

Better to ask to the school for a place to put a decent machine there ¬_¬
Fake the CPU name and put 75 people on it. If it's slow tell them it's their fault. That's my business plan.
I kid
Well, sad thing is, there are ppl thinking like that for real...

Core2Duo is not same as a Celeron/Atom...
or get 30 X 32mb ipxcore = $15/month
Depends on the Celeron/Atom. I can not agree with you on this. C2D is much, much better than Celeron on most of the cases. Probably better than Atom as well.
It is better than atom too. I missed the c2d part...
M
Depends? Any c2d is better, any.
There's
So I assumed the author first wanted to host on Celeron/Atom (like the topic name still reflects), but seeing first couple of replies changed his mind and edited the post to ask about a different server, not the one he thought of previously.
Well, in this case, 2 GB ram is kinda little. At the price ram is today, 4 gb should certainly increase the value for the buck a lot more than the cost.
M
yes i did edited the 1st post..building a node on a celeron is truly a stupid idea.btw,thanks for all you guys comments.appreciate it a lot
I wasnt sure about that, so I said it depends. Might be my mistake. The thign I had in mind is: lowest end and oldest c2d, comapred to the dual core celerons.
For example from cpubench:
Intel Core2 Duo E4600 @ 2.40GHz - 1,376
Intel Celeron G550 @ 2.60GHz - 2,658
