This short article is a synopsis of my experience recently of installing K12LTSP 4.0 and using it. It is in no way a substitute for digging deeper and I don't claim it to be complete by any means. I've only skimmed over some of the basics and what I thought might be useful for someone installing K12LTSP for the first time.
A quick overview of what K12LTSP is and does.
Basically K12LTSP allows you to take older machines 500mhz and less and turn them into usable thin clients for a faster server. In other words, take an old, slow, antique machine and give it new life instead of throwing it into the trash bin.

What's next in the field of web design? It's already here. Today's webmasters are deluged with available technologies to incorporate into their designs. The ability to learn everything is fast becoming an impossiblity. So your choice in design technologies becomes increasingly important if you don't want to be the last man standing and left behind when everyone else has moved on. But before we get to that, lets do a quick review of the previous generation of web design.

now we will concentrate on using Linux for web design.

Keeping your web site simple doesn't necessarily mean that you are shortchanging your visitors. Things like simple navigation and simple graphics actually allow more visitors to view your web pages and help to keep them there because the pages load faster.
Simple navigation can consist of plain old text hyperlinks, or some very small graphic buttons arranged in some easy-to-follow way. Be consistent with the way you have people navigate your site. Use the same format for all of your pages when possible. Most people like to be able to figure out the web site's navigation system in short order. If it takes too long for them to figure out how it works, they will look for an easier web site to navigate. With the millions of sites available for them to go to, you need to make yours appealing to the web surfer that drops in for a look.
