Sagar, LTSP 2.09pre4 is very stable. The only reason we haven't made it a production release yet is because I am still working on the documentation, and I don't want to release it until that is done.
if you go by the Instructions sheet on the ltsp site for 2.09pre4, you shouldn't have any problems.
