Everyone,
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE enough with the RedHat thread. I think you have
all established that there is disagreement. Your discussion will be more
appropriate and more useful on a RedHat list.

While Fedora is great for the hobbist, it will not cut it for many

LTSP will run on _any_ linux distrobution that has teh required
servers and services installed. These are tftp,X(if you need
it),telnet(if used),and dhcp. Some distros take more tweaking than
