[Ltsp] LTSP questions

[Brad Bendily]

Here at SLU we've had an ongoing project that we want
to get Linux on some workstations at our library.

I had setup a "Kiosk" station running on Suse. It was
fairly easy. Only running a browser and a X session.
But I don't want to have to install Suse on the 15 
stations I want to setup.

I tried to remaster my own Knoppix cd, which was
a great learning experience as well. It worked, but 
was very time consuming. I had a few hiccups before
I stopped working with it, which I could probably fix.
But the thought of burning 15 cd's for these workstations
really has me bummed.

Because of the recent talks on the brlug and LTSP list 
I was thinking that LTSP would be great in this
particular application. It will be about 15 "Lobby"
workstations that will need only a browser.
So, we have hit the ltsp.org site and have been
digging through the documentation and some questions
have come up that I thought i'd ask the list about.

First, should we be trying to use the ltsp.org site
and "roll our own" or should we forget that and
go to http://www.k12ltsp.org/ and use their
already pre-packaged distro?

If we do use ltsp.org, what's the best distro to run?

Any other LTSP newbie advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
