Jim your views are laudable but ummmm not useful ...

LTSP5 should be the shining best way to impliment TCs and not be
crippled by lofty goals of trying to use pentium and 16M etc.

It supports all the latest hardware, does fancy local media, sound etc
etc. WOW

LTSP4 should be used for old hardware, small RAM, and the resulting loss
of functionality.

The fact that LTSP4 is no longer supported means your developers ARE NOT
INTERESTED IN THE KRAPPY HARDWARE side of town with a 2.4 kernel etc
etc.

LTSP4 does exist and can deal with old HW. Lets not spoil EVERYTHING by
being greedy trying to fit LTSP5 into a box where it does not fit.

Telling one of [our] your developers that his work is krappy because it
won't work with limited resources is really stupid. We choose MooKow
because of the benefits, but there are costs too. c'est'la vie
