Thinking about? Absolutely. Expecting it to work anytime soon? No. But I would love to hear about someone who succeeded in getting LTSP working on the preview release.

My reason for mentioning it here is that they are organizing CentOS SIGs to work on respins and distributions for special purposes, so anyone capable of helping might want to get involved. I don't use it myself anymore but always thought that the old k12ltsp version that, up through CentOS5, just came up working on a 2-nic server was fantastic and helped a lot of people who might not otherwise have been able to use linux. It might be possible to re-create that kind of installable distribution again. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com
