[K12OSN] K12LTSP status

[Terrell Prude' Jr.]

I'm thinking our best bet is to do a K12Linux with LTSP 5 on the 
upcoming CentOS 6 (a "K12Linux 6EL", if you will).  It'll be probably 
half a year, but like today's K12LTSP 5EL, that'll have long-term support.

Fedora simply changes too fast to be maintainable at any level which 
requires scaling.  Don't get me wrong, Fedora's great for its intended 
purpose, and that purpose is the hobbyist and advanced technical user.

I don't know a blessed thing about making RPM's (yet), but I'd be 
willing to help package such a K12Linux 6EL if the need is there.
