Awesome - I loved their toaster oven server - leave it to linux users to
put servers in refridgerators (how's the project coming JLF?) and in
toaster ovens.

Actually, the k12ltsp.org has a link to www.ltsp.org which is definitely
down the right alley.

This is what we need in the valley - an installation.
