Duh. I'm not sure how to pick out what isn't included in stock centos. The easiest way is probably to install one but you might wade through http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/K12LTSP/5.0.0-EL-32bit/i386/repodata/comps.xml to look at the packages in the education* and ltsp groups. There are also some scripts to make everything come up working and push-button scripted installs for an assortment of extra software that is not included (web fonts, flash, sun java, realplayer, etc.). Be sure to download the 'el5' version. The others are based on now-obsolete fedora versions. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
