The project is looking for contributors to fund development: https://fedorahosted.org/k12linux/wiki/2011FundDrive And even with the basics working, it is going to be a problem that the stock (and client) kernel is PAE-only. I've always considered this an interesting project and particularly liked the k12ltsp distribution up through the CentOS5 based version that you can still find here: ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/5.0.0-EL-32bit/ There are a few quirks/conflicts when you update this to 5.6 but it can still be done. However, after that version it was moved into stock fedora packages for subsequent development and broke due to fedora's fast changing nature. I don't currently use any thin terminals, but if I did I'd probably stick to the k12ltsp5EL version for booting for a while and perhaps try to point the gdm login to a newer host. Or for booting 'fat' clients I'd look at drbl - or there may be a service included in Centos6 that will work. Or ubuntu might be the way to go since I think it still has an i386 kernel, or at least non-PAE. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
