Re: Announcing LTSP 19.08

New build 19.08-1~201908210816~ubuntu19.10.1 uploaded in the PPA 
(https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/wiki/ppa), with the following changelog 
since the first version:
  - Support Ubuntu and Debian live isos as bootable images
  - Implement autologin and passwordless logins
  - Support generating xorg.conf
  - Implement LOCAL_SWAP
  - Various fixes, man pages etc

That means that it's now possible to:
  - place ubuntu-live.iso in /srv/ltsp/images/x86_64.img
  - run `ltsp kernel` to extract its kernel/initrd in 1 second
  - and then to boot the clients and see the LTSP users in the display 
manager and login with SSH/SSHFS/NFS etc, like any other image.

So now one can test if his users like kubuntu or ubuntu-mate or gnome 
better within 1 minute; they will have their normal desktops, not live 
guest sessions.

See `man ltsp.conf(5)` 
(https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/blob/master/docs/ltsp.conf.5.md) for 
documentation of all the options.
If the new LTSP already supports all the options one needs, it should be 
preferred for new installations 
(https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/wiki/installation).
