LTSP's documentation needs quite a lot of updating. I'm hoping to get a 
bit more involved there shortly myself. When it comes to LTSP, newer is 
definitely better. Any LTSP older than included on 7.10 isn't even worth 
using anymore, because so many things have been fixed and included since 
then.

Excellent. Well, I suggest you use Ubuntu 8.04.1. When it comes to the 
point where you have to put a proposal together, you can decide whether 
you want to stick with an LTS release (8.04) or go with riskier, newer 
software that is available at the time (8.10, which is available as of 
next month).
