   * The computers running Debian Edu / Skolelinux must have either 32 bit (Debian architecture 'i386', oldest supported processors are Intel Pentium and AMD K5) or 64 bit (Debian architecture 'amd64') x86 processors.
   * At least 2 GiB RAM for 30 clients and 4 GiB RAM for 50-60 clients are recommended for the main and thin client server profiles. 
   * Thin clients with only 64 MiB RAM and 133 MHz on 32 bit processors are possible, though 256 MiB RAM or more and faster processors are recommended.
-    * Swapping over the network is automatically enabled for LTSP clients; the swap size is 512 MiB, and if you need more you can tune this by editing /etc/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf on tjener to set the SIZE variable.
+    * Swapping over the network is automatically enabled for LTSP clients; the swap size is 512 MiB, and if you need more you can tune this by editing {{{/etc/ltsp/nbdswapd.conf}}} on tjener to set the SIZE variable.
     * If your diskless workstations have hard drives, it is recommended to use them for swap as it is a lot faster than network swapping.
   * For workstations, diskless workstations and standalone PCs, 800 MHz, 512 MiB RAM are minimum requirements. A setup with 1024 MiB RAM runs considerably better and is the recommended minimum. A faster CPU will speed things up. For running Iceweasel/Firefox and !LibreOffice, 1024 MiB RAM is the recommended minimum. 
      *On workstations with little RAM the spell checker can cause !LibreOffice to hang if the swap space is too small. Then the system administrator has to disable the spell checker on !LibreOffice or students have to kill !LibreOffice, resulting in loss of work. Enabling at least 1024 MiB swap on a 512 MiB RAM workstation solves this, and the spell checker runs smoothly. Anyways, we recommend 1024 MiB RAM due to extensive RAM usage browsing the web.
