There is a version of K12LTSP based on CentOS. It has an
<br>
"EL" suffix to the version name/number. Look here:

<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/4.2.3EL-32bit/iso">ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/4.2.3EL-32bit/iso</a>

What is the prognosis for K12LTSP 4.2.4EL? It is still in the testing
<br>
directory but the files haven't been changed since September. Will it
<br>
be finished or will it languish and be replaced by the CentOS 5
version?
<br>
<br>
Which of these options would you recommend?
<br>
* Use 4.2.3EL which is a bit older but stable and supported
<br>
* Use 4.2.4EL which is newer but not fully debugged
<br>
* Wait for RHEL5 and then CentOS 5 and then a K12 version
<br>

I think you should end up with the same thing after a 'yum update'
whether you install 4.2.3EL or 4.2.4EL. At least that's the way normal
CentOS works.

You do, indeed. I use K12LTSP 4.2EL, and all the normal CentOS updates
come right on down upon issuing a yum update.<br>
