[K12OSN] K12LTSP Names

[AGordon evans-solutions com]

Hi,

Now that I'm back 'on the list' so to speak,  I will try again to post my 
idea, in shortened form.

In keeping with the K12 feel, how about...

K12 Server, built on <distro> Linux

We can have multiple versions, which I an Terrell discussed prior to 
someone else suggesting it on the list. I suggested Terminal Server, (in 
keeping with the original focus of K12LTSP), Advanced Server, combining 
LDAP and Samba, and if possible, Netware support. Enterprise Server would 
offer clustering, more robust data support, high availability, failover. 
Enterprise would be for businesses and school districts deploying a lot of 
K12LTSP servers (like here at BKB, where each school has a K12LTSP 
server), and multiple labs, with plans to use open source software for 
every aspect of the school business (i.e., student schedule, report cards, 
student tracking)

Since K12LTSP can be built on any flavor of Linux, I didn't feel the need 
to pin it to Red Hat, although they have a very reputable distro. I have 
heard rumors of LTSP running on Mandrake, SuSE, and Debian. If we could 
raise enough capital, the techies among us (like me) can build the turnkey 
servers and ship preconfigured systems.
