Hello Shiv,
I have been involved with Sanjeev for setting up LTSP at Atma Shree. I
will be be available after 24th of this month and dueing that I can show
you the set up at the school.
If you have existing machines with hard disks that you need to convert
to linux then I do not suggest that you go for LTSP because the system
requirement of K12LTSP (The ready made LTSP and educational
distribution) is quite high. On an optimum you would require more than
256 MB RAM on the machines.
The best would be to go for a Debian based distribution where you can
install the base and then keep on adding packages.

The base installation will run ok on a 68 MB RAM machine.

The best part about a Debian distribution is ability to upgrade quite
easily and a amazing range of software support.

I can give you cd's of Ubuntu Hoary (http://www.ubuntulinux.org) CD's
My contact number is
9845 171 484

Thank you,
Zabil
