I just want to agree with David --

I first tried K12LTSP when I was still low on the Linux skills list
(only been using it at home for about 2 yrs off and on).  At that time,
K12LTSP with the ISO, and "turn-key" idea was perfect.  

Since then, my skills, and prefered distro have changed. I have
installed LTSP ontop of my home Debian system and still use K12LTSP at
school.  I have less time at school (I'm the math teacher, not tech guy)
so I love the "turn-key" approach. But for my home system, I perfer
Debian for a large # of reasons.

Keep up the good work everyone -- You have all produced a wonderful
product, and I am glad to be part of it --Even if it is just a TINY TINY
bit.
