It does sound a bit contradictive. Being for K12LTSP and wanting to go 
Windows, running Windows off or against Sun servers....

Could it be a misunderstanding from someone to whom everything with a 
GUI and icons is 'Windows'?

A kid from school asked me yesterday: "So when are you going to put XP 
on the computers...?", he was looking over my shoulder as I was setting 
up a template IceWM LTSP client...
