I was looking at the dates of stuff yesterday. There was a build on koji
for Fedora 21 but nothing for centos in over a year.
There are problems in the build due to a large number of dropped packages.

I've been working with the virtualization tool in centos and ovirt in
particular.  There are good reasons to look at it as a replacement for
ltsp. It greatly separates the user environment and the spice client makes
the remote session feel local.

There's much work to be done to make it as good for school use as k12ltsp
has been. There will still need to be a pxeboot setup and the base install
on the clients will need to be modified to connect to a remote vm.
