Well, I am all about bridging the gap between the teachers/users and 
that magical thing called a FOSS iso image.  Things are going well, and 
the Edubuntu/LTSP5 progress is part of a very vibrant ecosystem.  One 
cannot lose site that what is a trivial 5 minute kludge for us is a 4 
hour stress factor for educators.

There is a story to be told in our migration.  This lab was an early 
testing ground for Fedora, a foundation of the K12LTSP.  There is a deep 
commitment to FOSS by this particular educator I am helping, but there 
is a deeper commitment to teaching children effectively and efficiently. 
  I am often reminded of what is 'different' or not-the-same (equaling 
not-as-good) about Edubuntu, and the praises of Eric H. are sung loudly.
