Eric Harrison, any chance we can get an official comment on the
state of things?
I'm sure you're a busy guy, and I very much appreciate the years
of work you've put into the project.
I've been using K12LTSP for a several years, but had to switch to
edubuntu this past summer.
I'd switch back to fedora in a heartbeat if it had solid LTSP5
support.
I'm using K12LTSP at the moment, but have also been a Skolelinux user
for years. What is it about edubuntu/K12LTSP that would make you
"switch back to fedora in a heartbeat if it (K12LTSP) had solid LTSP5
support"?
I can tell you, from the perspective of someone who's tried both of
them, multiple versions, side-by-side that K12LTSP hasn't require *any*
tweaking to "just work." Eric did a really bang-up job on the
integration and has for years. And K12LTSP, especially in its "EL"
incarnations, is rock-solid for stability.
Actually, Edubuntu has twice failed me in demos, and fortunately I had a
K12LTSP server with me both times to back me up (confirmed later not to
be HW failures). I haven't yet tried Edubuntu Gutsy Gibbon, due to lack
of time; it may well be really nice at this point, and if it solves the
problems I ran into, then that would be suh-weet. I use Feisty Fawn in
"thick client" mode quite a bit and generally like the *buntu distros a lot.
