There has been some discussion here before about making the
k12ltsp packaging into meta-packages that pull in all the
required RPMs and configure them.  It's pretty close now, but
some small changes should let you install a stock fedora/RH/centos
distribution, adjust your yum/apt config to point to the right
repository and use yum or apt to add the ltsp and/or edutainment
parts.  However the x86-64 versions might be a problem unless a
special repository copy is maintained.  I think there are still
issues with trying to mix repositories that have 64 and 32 bit versions
of the same things.
