[K12OSN] Beta 6?

[monteslu at cox.net]

One day in and I've had some success and some extreme frustration.

First the good stuff:

Install went fine.
Thin clients immediately booted up.
The latest smbldap client script connected me right up.

Now the problems:

sudo... I guess it's better than switching to root like I've always done with redhat, but why does it only work on the server for GUI apps?
The lts.conf is not nearly as nice as the one on k12ltsp. In fact, it's almost empty. I have no idea what the new variables are. The top of the file says I can read a gzipped example conf, but it doesn't exist on the server or in any repo that I can tell.
Sound still doesn't work for me in flash on  a client and the only adobe flash thing i can see in the repo is the plugin itself.
