Pretty much. That's its strength and weakness. The good side is that all you need is to install LTSP and you're set. The downside is that if you're used to running another distro; using that distro's update tools; and accessing its bugfix, documentation, and support infrastructure, LTSP leaves you somewhat out in the cold. There are no technical reasons why LTSP couldn't simply be an add-on package to any standard APT or RPM-based distro, but it's not. There are equivalent tools for Debian, FC, etc., but they don't have the mindshare of LTSP. I'd much prefer that projects pulled together rather than apart.

That was entirely the point of the hackfest. On Debian, Ubuntu, and soon to be Fedora, the LTSP chroot will be built using the local package management tools, and packages.
We look forward to working with Novell, Mandriva, Slack, Gentoo, et. al. in the future to help them to fit into this model as well.
