Hi,
As a desktop, Fedora is the best solution. Should I use the best 2nd
solution? (Ubuntu).
Maybe if we take *some* releases to LLT, lets say, Fedora N, Fedora
N+4. The intermediary releases will be "non LLT".... Well, I know that
Fedora have to worry about all releases, but if we have few people to
work it should be one point.
Maybe it looks crazy.
P.S.: I'm sorry for my poor english.

A few points/questions:
* Does CentOS not meet your desktop needs?
* You should have a local repo for 500 machines anyways. You don't
want untested updates going to your 500 machines
* I don't think you're going to label running your desktops on a
Ubuntu LTS release as a "bad thing"
* As I understand it, Fedora Legacy died out of lack of interest, not
due to some intentional action
