[K12OSN] Suggestions for a LTSP Demo

[Curt Craig]

We do quite a few demonstrations; I always emphasize the following
points when discussing SafeDesk's "flavor" of LTSP:

1) Ease of management (especially when $$ aren't as important)
2) Ease of integration with AD/NSD/LDAP
3) Security
4) Stability
5) Application compatibility

Best of luck!
