[K12OSN] Preparing K12Linux F11

[Michael J. Izak]

Please include Firefox and Thunderbird. When Thunderbird is included it 
would be a whole lot easier for a lot of people to install the distro 
and go from there without any more fiddling. Most wise people and small 
law firms use Fedora and Thunderbird as a mail server only.
