I will probably update a 10.0 installation with LTSP to 10.2 and the 
latest version of LTSP sometime in January. The biggest issues I 
remember of were:
- create the correct boot images for the stations (a GUI to chose, 
download and create the floppy would be very nice)
- configure the different version of X (the one from LTSP and the one 
from SUSE) to work along nicely, namely setxkbmap (and thus the kxkb 
application from KDE) did not work at all.

LTSP also has a console config tool, for which a YaST module would be 
nice. This configures the TFTP server, DHCP, and things like that on 
the server machine.
