About K12Linux
|
K12Linux is Linux Terminal Server Project (LTSP.org) integrated with Fedora, in a convenient Live USB or DVD media installer. Since 1999, LTSP has empowered many schools and businesses with Linux-based terminal servers and thin clients, allowing low-cost clients or recycled computers to become powerful Linux desktop machines. K12Linux allows easy deployment of a Linux terminal server, capable of serving entire networks of netboot diskless clients. Clients login to the central terminal server, where they can use any Linux desktop environment and most desktop applications. Significant long-term cost savings are made possible by central management of software and accounts.

The first beta release of the upcoming K12LTSP Linux 4.4.0, now based on Fedora Core 4, is available for testing: "After several days of heavy-hacking, I have a first beta of K12LTSP 4.4.0 ready for testing. This is based on the just-released Fedora Core 4. It has all sorts of updates, including OpenOffice.org 2.0 beta. This beta also tests out changing the default desktop background. I updated my laptop and desktop earlier this week and all is going well so far. But keep in mind that this is a first beta, it is not ready for production use. This is not feature-complete and there are known bugs. If you want to help test this beta out, please be sure to run 'yum upgrade' after you install. I've already updated a dozen packages....". The release announcement. The five CD image set of K12LTSP Linux 4.4.0-beta1 can be downloaded from this directory.
