I've done it with both EL4 and EL5. Matter of fact, I've had x86, PPC,
and even UltraSPARC boxes running as thin clients...from the same
K12LTSP server...simultaneously. :-)
Basically, I had to build a custom /etc/dhcpd.conf for it and copy
/opt/ltsp/ppc and /opt/ltsp/sparc over. That, and make an /etc/hosts
file that would accommodate it. But it really was not very hard.
