[K12OSN] Newbie questions

[Huck]

FC5 release is in candidate state #2...
We're wait'n on it to be full release within a week I believe
K12LTSP is a bundled OS package with LTSP and many K12apps..
where-as LTSP is simply the package to do a terminal server on a distro 
of linux.

maybe I oversimplified it...but that's the gist of it.

I'm waiting for Eric to return and release the FC5 version.

K12LTSP 5.0.0 release candidate #2 has been uploaded.

This build includes a new kernel and the Fl_Teachertool update.
Hopefully the kernel update will fix the various RAID card issues reported.

I will be mostly off-line for the next week and a half. If no major
issues crop up before then, we'll be ready for the official release.

Please give this build a very thorough test and report any and all
issues that you see.



The repositories have been updated, if you have an earlier beta
installed you can simply run "yum update".
