yes. ltspfs packages are not yet uploaded into debian. i doubt that we
have enough time to get it into etch, but i will make sure we have
working backports for etch.

there is currently no support for printers connected to the
thin-clients, as we had to remove lp_server due to unclear copyright
licensing.  you could build lp_server or p910nd yourself(neither are in
debian yet), or cups(which is in debian), and try and configure it. but
there is not yet any built-in support for printing. please report any
success you have with this.

again, i don't know if we'll be able to include good printing support in
etch, but i will make sure we have backports for etch once it is
working.

live well,
