A little more than a year ago, I had a K12LTSP server in a school.  It
lasted two trouble-free years until it got discovered by the Windows
Nazis and ripped out.  During that time, I had the kids choosing GNOME,
KDE, or XFce.  About half of them chose KDE, since "it's more like XP",
and the other half chose GNOME.  A couple chose XFce out of curiosity.

BTW, I may have lost that K12LTSP server...but, as of recent, I now have
THREE MORE in its place!  Different sites, obviously.  TUX lives.
