... Cost­E#ective System Management Skip Schaller Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 Abstract. Quality system management of computer workstations for as­ tronomy can be achieved with relatively small manpower requirements, if the right cost­e#ective administrative design decisions are made. ... The system is designed so that one doesn't depend on four or more hosts, (such as a software server, cpu server, data file server, font server, etc.) to get work done. ...
