</div>The last time I checked - which has been a while, I admit - Fedora was<br>
still using LTSP 4, while Ubuntu had moved on to LTSP 5. But if<br>
Fedora has caught up by now, there should not be much difference.<br>
<br>
I think the edubuntu CD has the LTSP installer option, but it should<br>
be in the repos as well...<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br>Just out of curiosity, who is going to be administering this server? Are you, or the person setting up this server? If this other person is the one who is going to be administering the box, and they're more familiar with Fedora, I'd say let them use it. There is unlikely to be much difference (if the LTSP versions are the same) between the two. The biggest difference between Ubuntu, which is Debian-based and Fedora, which is RedHat-based is the package-management each uses. Ubuntu uses Debian's package management, apt, while Fedora uses RedHat's package management, rpm. <br>
<br>If *YOU* are going to be the one administering the server, pick the distribution *YOU* are most comfortable with. <br>
