I'm wondering if there's a "preload" package for K12LTSP out there. 
It's on another distro that I use, and it works wonders for application 
load times.  True, it does add an extra 20-30 seconds to 
shutdown/reboot, but it'd be well worth it if it could help client apps 
load quicker.

Cheers,
Mike
