[K12OSN] 1 nic k12ltsp 6.0

[Will Hatch]

Sorry I omitted this important information.  All of these computers run
either windows 2000 professional or windows xp.  

Does 5.0EL have all of the educational software added to it?  Is it an
upgrade, or do I need to do a fresh install?

do is create a session to access the linux terminal server.  It works
beautifully!

 It would be nice to get the k12 box from other places in the school,
besides the lab where the DevonIT clients are located.

Glad you're having success with K12LTSP.  Note: if you're running 
K12LTSP 6.0, I think everyone on this list would recommend that you
move 
to 5.0EL as soon as you possibly can.  The reason is that Fedora Core 6

(the basis of version 6.0) is no longer supported with security updates

since December 2007.  Version 5.0EL, on the other hand, will get 
security updates until 2014.

Now, to answer your question, we'll need to know what OS these 
"traditional computers" are running, e. g. a GNU/Linux distro, FreeBSD,

Mac OS, etc.
