K12LTSP基於Fedora Core及LTSP終端服務器軟件包（見http://www.ltsp.org），它易於安裝和配置。K12LTSP遵循GNU通用公共許可證發布，這意味著它是免費的並且基於開源軟件。一旦安裝好，K12LTSP可以讓你從一台應用服務器引導多台無盤工作站，而這些無盤客戶可以用老舊的PC機充當，或者以低於每台200美元的價錢購買到。所有的應用程序都是在終端服務器上運行的，相比之下那些工作站就顯得很“微薄”，在它們上面不存在軟件及硬盤驅動器。這些微薄的客戶機對學校而言是極其適合的，因為裝配它們非常容易，並且幾乎不需要維護。它們非常可靠，並且不會受惡意破壞或者是計算機病毒的影響。
Eric Harrison has announced the release of K12LTSP Linux 6.0.0: "Still looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the spouse? K12LTSP 6.0.0 is now available for all of your gift-giving needs!" What's new in this release? "K12LTSP 6.0.0 is based on Fedora Core 6, with a large number of changes including: LTSP 4.2 update 4; a bunch of packages from Fedora Extras; hundreds of updated FC6 packages; a handful of K12LTSP packages, just to spice things up. This release of K12LTSP is slightly different than past releases in that there is no specific 'LTSP' install option. If you want do a 'normal' Fedora Core 6 install from K12LTSP 6, simply uncheck the 'LTSP' package group. The 'Education' package group has been split up into two groups."
