Allow me to correct you on your misunderstandings. I've seen your posts on newsforge as well, and you seem to be constantly going on about Ubuntu "going their own way", and forking LTSP.

This is totally factually incorrect.

The first version of Ubuntu's LTSP was implemented from our Muekow specification, which you can find on our wiki (wiki.ltsp.org), and, in fact, LTSP was invited by Ubuntu to come down to Australia for the initial specification of what needed to be done.

I fail to see how Ubuntu can be accused of "going their own way", when they were working from our specs, and we were there HELPING them with the first, and subsequent versions.

Implementing LTSP in a distro agnostic way is a difficult task. We've been very fortunate to have the support of Debian, Ubuntu, and Fedora, and K12LTSP in doing this. The hackfest was completely non-partisan, and EVERYONE focused on making things good for ALL users of LTSP.

Please don't try to create an impression of divisiveness when there wasn't one.
