Thread:Project:Support desk/Offline wikipedia mirror/reply

I think if you were serving up a static copy of Wikipedia -- all pre-rendered pages -- then the CPU wouldn't have a problem. I'm not sure you could run a copy of MediaWiki and expect it to handle 40 clients with that kind of power.

Also, which Wikipedia? The English one or the Amharic one? The dumps from amwiki are smaller than enwiki ones.

If you have time, I'd try to take the Amharic wiki (if you were going to use that one) and try to create static pages for it.

Alternately, have a look at Kiwix -- you may be able to put a copy on each of the 40 computers.
