And note that there are k12ltsp versions of each that might be 
convenient to install even if you don't normally run terminals directly 
on the home/ldap server.  The 4.2.3EL versions here
ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/pub/K12LTSP/
are Centos-based and suitable for installs even if you don't use the 
ltsp part.
