If possible, point me to the part of the page where it says so, or to the correct document.

With that being said, I know that project resources are limited. Definitely one day all major distros will support LTSP, no doubt about that. Unfortunately we're not yet there and therefore we need to advocate having old things working for a while. Also, I'd have a question (ok, in fact there are two) for you: I'm running x86_64 architecture linux on the server. My clients are of various ages (oldest one is a P II 350 MHz, runs LTSP /w X great!). What are my chances of success with LTSP 5? What you're saying that in this ah-so-much-better-way-of-doing-things I need to have a different set of packages (of different architecture) in a separate directory for LTSP-distro and when everything is properly supported all runs like a charm and both installations can be kept up to date. Did I get that correct?
