After two years of work and 994 commits later, LTSP 5.2 is out.

Now, to quickly summarize what changed between 5.1.99 and 5.2, here's the changelog I used in the Ubuntu package:
  • Improve fat client support (a lot faster)
  • Update nbd-proxy for stability
  • Rewrite of ltsp-update-image
  • Updated sound configuration
  • Lots of optimizations
  • Added ssh and whiptail screen script
 LDM was made a bit faster in 2.1 and a few ltspfs bugs have been fixed as well as lot of optimization and code cleanup (in both cdpinger and ltspfsd).

Measure boot time on Ubuntu Lucid is under 10s on an Atom-based thin client (1.6Ghz, Hyper-Threated with 512MB of DDR2). That's just blazing fast !!

I suggest you to see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/K12Linux if you are in Fedora Box. If you are onto Deb then as suggested go for ltsp official site.
You may join the IRC
irc.freenode.net
channel #ltsp


@Arun
Yes LTSP went from 5.0 to 5.2
Rest i don''t know
That all! :-)
