The next release of Ubuntu will be on or around Oct 6th, 2005.  It will
be called 'Breezy Badger', and it will have LTSP integrated.

Take a look at http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/ThinClientIntegration for
details on the implementation plan.

Additionally, there will be a release of Ubuntu called 'Edubuntu' that
will be tailored to the education community, and it will also include
LTSP.  For details on that, take a look at
http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/Edubuntu

The Canonical guys are VERY serious about the integration of LTSP into
Ubuntu.  They will be doing much of the "heavy lifting" to get LTSP
integrated.  This is a huge leap forward for us, and we're all very
excited about the potential.
