I like F's lettering with G's logo. I also like L, as is. It's for the
professional looking reasons. Ken "Helios" Starks wrote something a couple
of years ago about how he converted a MS Windows-using business to K12LTSP 6
(the FC6-based one). I don't believe he had yet learned about EL, otherwise
he presumably would've used that one (the conversion was a rush job due a BSA
rape^H^H^H^Haudit).
In addition to the few schools I've done, I once had a small business using
K12LTSP 4.2EL. It worked great. Unfortunately the owner of it decided that
he just *had* to have Microsoft Exchange Server and that nothing else would
do...despite the fact that I had him on IMAP/SMTP email that worked great
with Evolution. Basically, he let himself get seduced by InfoWorld, et. al.
