[K12OSN] needed: recommendations for Linux flavor with ongoing support

[Rob Owens]

Jim, is there a list of packages which qualify as
"server"?  Ubuntu 6.06 is only supported for 3 years
on the desktop, but I've never seen an explanation of
how "server" and "desktop" are differentiated.

I realize you're the LTSP guy, and not the Ubuntu guy,
but I figured I'd ask...
