There was one...

Up through CentOS5 there was an iso respin that just came up working
as a classroom server that would PXE-boot a bunch of thin clients and
included a working java, media player, and an assortment of
educational programs .There's an old presentation here:
http://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/K12ltsp-presentation.swf

You could probably still install one from the isos here:
ftp://k12linux.mesd.k12.or.us/../pub/K12LTSP/5.0.0-32bit/iso/
but I'm not sure what it would do after updating.

These days it is packaged separately and much more complicated to get working.
