Warren Togami has announced the release of K12Linux F10 "Live Server", a distribution featuring the Linux Terminal Server Project integrated with Fedora 10 in a convenient live USB or DVD media installer: "The K12Linux team is proud to announce the release of K12Linux F10 Live Server. 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 (GNOME, KDE, Xfce) and most desktop applications. The clients are stateless, making them easy to maintain and replace by on-site staff with minimal training. Features: auto-configuration of diskless thin clients; applications like OpenOffice.org or Firefox are typically faster than a standalone Linux desktop; sound is automatically forwarded over the network via PulseAudio; local application support; local storage devices support."

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....".

NEW • Review: The K12 Linux Terminal Server Project |

Mad Penguin has been busy installing and configuring K12LTSP 3.1.1, a Linux server distribution for diskless terminals: "Overall, the system is well laid out and documention is good... both from the developers of K12LTSP as well as Red Hat. All joking aside, I would highly recommend this software to anyone looking for an inexpensive, easy to administer, Linux terminal server. The developers have done an excellent job of keeping the technical side of the system hidden from view, but is still accessible to the more seasoned pro. I give it a two thumbs up. Well worth looking into." The full review with several screenshots.
