Hello folks,
Thanks to Eric Harrison's K12LTSP work, there is a version of K12LTSP that is based on CentOS 4.x. The night before last, I did a yum update on my K12LTSP 4.2.2EL server to bring it up to 4.3. Very easy.
I've been using CentOS, in its K12LTSP variant, pretty much since it came out. It's been a joy to use, and it is highly recommended to those of you looking for an inexpensive, solid GNU/Linux distribution. It is *ESPECIALLY* recommended for those who need or want to upgrade a school computer lab on the cheap and have excellent performance from it. It is also installed--and heavily used--on one of my laptops at work, and a one-week-old installation of Slackware 10.2 runs on the other one (the one I happen to be using to write this now).
I thank the CentOS folks, and Eric Harrison, every day I get home and fire up my LTSP terminal, (in reality an old Pentium-166 with 32MB DRAM and an EtherBoot floppy). They have made efficient, economical computing even more practical than it already was, in even more situations. This is the beauty of Free Software; you are FREE to make it do whatever you need it to do.
