A bit of history for anyone who might not know:  Eric Harrison has 
maintained the k12ltsp distribution that you can find at 
http://k12ltsp.org/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page for many years.  This 
isn't a separate distribution in the usual sense but a stock fedora or 
centos (depending on the version) rebuilt to include ltsp and some 
additional programs, plus some scripts to make it come up working as a 
server that will network-boot thin clients.   These have been based on 
ltsp4.  The initial work with ltsp5 has been in ubuntu/edubuntu.  I 
believe the plan is to package ltsp5 (and perhaps some of the other k12 
additions) for inclusion into the stock fedora distribution, but it 
hasn't happened yet.
