[K12OSN] [Fwd: Fedora 7]

[John Lucas]

I am interested in the CentOS version of K12LTSP. Since you are currently 
running it, what versions of the OS and LTSP does it consist of and where can 
ISO images be obtained? 

I looked on the K12LTSP site and the CentOS site and don't see any 
CentOS/K12LTSP info. A quick Google search only turns up various forum 
postings referring to CentOS with LTSP v4.x.x. I did see Eric's one word 
affirmative response to a query about future K12LTSP/CentOS distributions, 
but apparently there is a version already released, so any specifics about 
what is already out would be helpful.
