[K12OSN] 64 bit K12ltsp based on 4.4.1

[Peter Hartmann]

I'm using Centos4 x86_64 and 4.2.1.  FWIW, I would stick with what
everyone else is using.  Specifically I've had a lot of trouble with
certain python apps.  Also the k12ltsp-firefox.   Not sure what the
usage of FC4 x86_64 is but I think i may be the only one on the list
using Centos4 x86_64.   If you are bound an determined to go that way
I'll tell you what I did to get things going.
