Sorry for replying to my own posting, but I thought this was on the k12osn list when I answered so the mention of k12ltsp might be confusing. K12ltsp is just a re-spin distribution that contains a full Centos (or fedora, depending on the version) with ltsp and some other things added along with startup scripts to make it all come up working in a 2-NIC setup. You can do the same yourself by installing ltsp on Centos and setting the rest up by hand. But in any case I'd recommend the k12osn mail list and the k12ltsp wiki (http://k12ltsp.org/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page) as resources even if your ltsp use isn't in education. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
