Can I test Gusty packages with Edubuntu Feisty?

[Philipp Hanselmann]

Hi

Based on Edbuntu Feisty I wrote some fully automated 
installation/configuration scripts, which customize Edubuntu for 
SchoolNet needs.
This Installation script is configuring LTSP, but also gnome, exim, 
shorewall, squirelemail, dns, dailup, imap, nxserver, squid.... and 
installs some additional  multimedia and educational programs.

Now I happens more and more that we discover bugs in Feisty which will 
be  fixed in the upcoming version of Gusty.

What is really the differences between Feisty and Gusty based on the 
ltsp-support?

I noticed on the Internet most off the work from the Edubuntu developer 
is spend on these packages:
   ldm
   ltsp-client (meta package)
   ltsp-client-core
   ltsp-server.

Does these Gusty packages also working together with Edubuntu Feisty?

Why I am asking. I have a slow and expensive Internet connection 
(64kByte, isdn-dialup ) which I am using here in Namibia 
(http://www.runduopenmarkets.com/RUNDUsitemap.htm) , so  I can't  just 
do a dist -upgrade to Gusty over the Internet ;-(.

But is this really needed? Does these ltsp packages really depend on 
special Gusty packages?

I have a Gusty tribe version from 23 July 2007 and some Feisty 
repositories on DVDs. But like I already said, until the final  version 
is out, I would like just do to some testing with the actual Feisty 
release and the Gusty ltsp packages ...

Is this possible?
