[K12OSN] EL6 32bit kernel-thinclient config

["Terrell Prudé Jr."]

The only possible concern I might have is if LTSP5 supports IPv6, and if 
that's a foreseeable deployment in the next 6 years (remaining life of 
CentOS 6).  The reason for this is that some folks, like me, have done 
K12LTSP deployments with the thin clients on the school's main LAN for 
both technical and political reasons.  I know of at least one school 
which has LAN segments that are IPv6.

Perhaps this isn't a problem in the real world, since I personally don't 
see even that school turning off IPv4 support for at least 10 years.

Thoughts, anyone?
