Comment on 15 years, one server, 8GB RAM and 500k users – how Webminal refuses to die

This is so fascinating, I've never heard of UML!

How many users can this support simultaneously? It says 256MB RAM per user, 8GB total on server? But it's probably more than 32 simultaneous users?

In past I have seen around 10 process, but I think with current setup, it could support around upto 20 UML. Remember this runs on the same server where others login and get their normal bash account too. So not a dedicated UML server.

Thanks. Interesting, that's slightly less than I expected with 500,000 users!
