[K12OSN] Let sleeping dogs lie

[Burke Almquist]

I would say that fedora updates don't get the testing that CentOS/ 
RHEL gets. It's generally a very stable distro. Fedora is much more  
bleeding edge, Which is nice for a desktop, but may not be ideal for  
running servers?? It cuts both ways for K12LTSP which is really both  
a server and a desktop.
