[K12OSN] K Few observations with ltsp-server 5.9 | Where I can find old ltsp-server 5.1 repository

[Radek Bursztynowski]

William,

I didn't change anything. All config files including lts.conf I got from
my archive, and I use all the same services using the same config files.
My firewall is stopped. I will see soon what will be after new system
installation (I added the second NIC card i HDD dedicated to LTSP.

Best regards,
Radek
