first off, who wrote this? from the ip address, it is obviously someone on the inside :)
secondly, is this a planned class, or an already done class?
thirdly, there are a few over-simplifications:
both lessdisks and ltsp can be configured to download a kernel over NFS or TFTP.
"lessdisks has terminals by default" what does that mean?
lessdisks actually defaults to using XDMCP, just like ltsp does.
and lastly:
it may be interesting to note that future versions of LTSP will likely also be in a chroot environment: http://wiki.ltsp.org/twiki/bin/view/Ltsp/MueKow http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/ltsp
live well, vagrant

don't get so defensive. attempts to clarify the outline could be seen as an opportunity to improve the class, rather than an attack. :P
of course i'm going to take interest if i see that someone is working on teaching a class about lessdisks.
i see what you mean regarding the TFTP issue. i still wouldn't call it irrelevent that they can both be configured either way, but that's personal opinion.
lessdisks, by default, is configured to set up and run an X Terminal, and the default answer to the XDMCP/sdm question is to use XDMCP, i believe.
the mention of LTSP's future direction might be interesting to note because there is now some attempt at coordination between LTSP and lessdisks development due to the switch in LTSP.
