It's a thing of seasons. But within this scope, I'm here :) And I need some own experience with current LTSP first. I am a Suse fan (don't like Ubuntu too much), so I would try to set up LTSP on a Suse system, document my experience etc. There has been some documentation on the Suse website about it, but it's not up-to-date anymore. Further, they used to deploy it together with Kiwi. From my experience, for a newbie this means to learn just another basis, more tweaking, and it never was quite clear to me why it was done this way. So I would like to develop a way to just download the latest version from ltsp.org and start going, having a clear step-by-step manual (just like the one you made for LTSP 3). (Or use the one from Suse repos, but you would have to convince me that this is really better...) From my experience, everything boils down to knowing where the scripts are, what the scripts do at which place, where the boot images are, how booting works and where to find the files in charge. This way, I once set up an old LTSP 4.2 plus 5 on the same server, tweaked it a bit, and it served us until today. Now it's time to update the underlying system, the hardware, everything, so I looked out for a central place (!) to find some information on modern LTSP. Modern LTSP has a lot of scripts that do the job, but I use to feel this strange itching when I don't know what some script is really doing. So concise documentation I mean would be to give simple instructions as well as hints to the background.
