If that results in a working lab afterwards, I'll be able to test Edubuntu Dapper with real students in a working environment.
we'll be in preparation of flight 6 next week, during that time the
archive will be slightly frozen to not break the cd builds, if you
upgrade during that period you should be fine with dist-upgrade (apart
from usual bugs coming up in a development release)

for the thin client chroot you have two options:

either upgrade it, but you wont gain the full benefit of improvements we
added for dapper...:
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get update
sudo chroot /opt/ltsp/i386 apt-get dist-upgrade

or wipe it and let the newer build script recreate it:

sudo rm -rf /opt/ltsp/i386
sudo ltsp-build-client

i'd suggest the latter for a full featured dapper experience, some
changes can only be made at chroot build time ...

ciao
