[K12OSN] getting DELL GX110'S to work

[R. Scott Belford]

If you are using Edubuntu Gutsy, there are changes to be aware of.  The 
lts.conf settings are in a new location.  The default color depth is a 
bit higher, so older clients will not boot without modifying the default 
color depth.  This is a good lts.conf for those migrating from the K12LTSP

more /var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/lts.conf

[default]
     X_COLOR_DEPTH=16
     LDM_DIRECTX=True
     X_MODE_0=1024x768
     LOCALDEV=True
     SOUND=True
     NBD_SWAP=True
     SYSLOG_HOST=server
