Ubuntu doesn't do it, Knoppix doesn't do it, nobody else I personally know of that makes Live CD's does it. The "LTSP", though, or alternately "Terminal Server", is important, though. When I refer to K12LTSP to most school technical staff, I've found that if I describe it--colloquially--as "basically Red Hat Linux, Terminal Server Edition", then they get the idea. This is because they're already familiar with "Windows NT/2000/2003 Terminal Server". For existing K12LTSP users, and there are plenty, we ought to keep some reference to LTSP, even if it's "K12Linux Terminal Server Edition". BTW, your choice of version naming is nice (F9, F10, EL6, etc.). Clear and to the point. --TP <div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> _______________________________________________ K12OSN mailing list <a href="mailto:K12OSN@redhat.com">K12OSN@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/k12osn</a> For more info see <<a href="http://www.k12os.org" target="_blank">http://www.k12os.org</a>> </div></div></blockquote></div> I, too, prefer "K12Linux Terminal Server Edition" to "K12Linux Live LTSP Server" for some of the same reasons. In my experience, I've often had to explain what "LTSP" meant when describing K12LTSP to others, especially non-Linux people. But a lot of people seem to understand "terminal server". Regarding "live"... I, too, prefer dropping that from the name. As pointed out, many other distributions are live CDs/DVDs but do not bother to include that in their name. It's to the point where you can almost assume a disc is a live bootable disc unless the description clearly states "install only". David Whitmer </div>
