From K12LTSP Wiki

K12LTSP is provided via ISO image files which you download and then burn to CD or DVD.

Difference between versions 5-EL and 6/7: The regular K12LTSP releases are based on Fedora Core and Fedora Core has a very short life cycle. But there are also EL (Enterprise Linux) versions of K12LTSP, which are based on CentOS (which in turn is a Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone). The current version is K12LTSP 5EL, which is based on CentOS 5. CentOS has a supported lifetime of 7 years (compared to Fedora's ~1 year).

Here are links to ISO files for recent versions of K12LTSP from the primary repository:

• The K12LTSP/Edubuntu live CD replicates what users see on K12LTSP thin clients. 'Live CD' means that Linux boots and runs from the CD without touching whatever is already installed on the hard drive. Great for letting users explore K12LTSP on their own machines on their own time. Also known as the 'K12LTSP Greatest Hits CD'. For x86 only. Based on Edubuntu 7.04.
  • Live CD Demo disk
• The Universal Boot Floppy, for booting PC clients that don't have built-in network boot mechanisms. Works with most network cards.
