I would love to see K12LTSP capable of these sorts of numbers.. but an
entire rethink will be in order.
The issues for large-scale K12LTSP are roughly ;
Server Performance
Switch up-link performance
Centralising administration
Distributing the /home directory globally
Seperating and then abstracting various network services
Abstracting the Server Install/upgrade procedure
