I have done that - how easy - well, not so easy... I think. The 
classroom was dual boot (XP/Dapper).
That classroom no more exist - it was just a test classroom, but working 
one.


I made it with g4u-program: http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/


1. I fix one machine to dual boot and then cloned it to others. Machines 
were exactly same ones.  [Sorry for picture size]

2. Then I cloned one in a server (image) and cloned that image to others.

3. You need one working dhcpd-server and one working ftp-server and fast 
LAN.

4. Example machine to a ftp-server:

"uploaddisk image at 172.17.x.xxx <mailto:image at 172.17.x.xxx> pikiruukki.gz 
wd0"

5. Example machine to others:

"slurpdisk image at 172.17.x.xxx <mailto:image at 172.17.x.xxx> pikiruukki.gz wd0"

6. You use same g4u-live-disc in every machine.


It take hours to clone that way machines, but it works.
So if you like to try, g4u is for you.
