[K12OSN] Fedora Legacy support no longer

[Julian Yap]

If you want longer support, can't you just pick the K12LTSP
installs based off of RHEL sources?

For example, K12LTSP 4.2.x.EL should be updated until Feb 29,
2012 (http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=42).

RHEL5 is due to come out late February 2007.  Should have
updates until ~2014.
