[K12OSN] *sigh* FC2 issues

I know redhat helped a lot with the early stages. But it seems that the 
fedora model just isn't right for k12ltsp. At this rate FC3 will be out 
by the time we have a reliable fc2.Wouldn't it make more sense to drop 
fedora? I did. Debian comes to mind, but for those of us living in 
netware systems maybe suse would be a good candidate? I don't mean to be 
a killjoy, but I haven't been comfortable with any of the 4.X k12ltsps, 
and I get the sense that the prob might be fedora itself.
