[K12OSN] How many K12LTSP installations?

[Ramon]

K12LTSP is one of the most popular easy to install distros out there for schools
and open source PXE networks. I think Eric has done a great job, and a great
contribution to OS.
I have installed 2 lans so far here in Brazil and I pretend on doing many more as
needed.

Thanks Eric,
Ramon
