K12LTSP is just RHx + LTSP on the same CDs. LTSP is distro independent.

>the *dm (gdm/kdm/xdm) startup stuff is usually in the /etc/init.d/rcX.d.

But you have to watch out for any config files that your distro gives
priority to before those startup scripts, e.g. they may use variables
defined in /etc/sysconfig/*. Otherwise next time you run the config
tool, your edits may get voided and you wonder why. For SuSE the setting
is $DISPLAYMANAGER in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager. Also see
$DISPLAYMANAGER_REMOTE_ACCESS, $DISPLAYMANAGER_STARTS_XSERVER and
$KDM_SHUTDOWN.  YDMV.
