Hello.

I wanted to add my thanks to everyone who is helping preserve the LTSP5
documentation.  We currently run three LTSP servers using LTSP5 to provide
a number of users in two daycares and a school and have been using LTSP
since at least 2005 and it's exactly what we've needed.

It will be a challenge to migrate mid-academic year to LTSP 19 because we
have so many moving parts and people that rely on our systems.  Likely it
will be the summer of 2020 when the school is on break before we can look
at migrating to LTSP 19;  in the meantime, having access to the older
documentation, especially the Ubuntu Wiki collection, is greatly
appreciated.  I imagine many others are in the same boat.

Just today I was looking for the instructions on how to update the software
that is in chroot as a teacher requested a new application.  The
instructions were usually kept at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/UpdatingChroot but the link is
now broken.

I apologize I cannot help specifically in the technical aspects of the
preservation and documentation migration but I wanted to include another
voice of thanks and appreciation for those who are.

Thank you,
Joseph
