Another potential solution would be LTSP linux.  

This is a diskless-node implementation of Linux where
everything boots off the server.  It's popular with places
like libraries and schools that want to fully scrub a system
between uses.

One advantage is that when you update the server, all the clients
are automatically updated.

I've used LTSP for a couple small projects over the years.  It's
worked well for me, but I wasn't coping with folks who expected
Windows-XP style interactions.
