The simplest documentation is the Ubuntu wiki. Of course, add your own content to improve it.
8.04 seems a bit old, I think you may find that users may have difficulty with the usability. 10.10 x86 is possible on a server that you describe, something with dual cores/threads is really a necessity. For thin clients, think about getting systems that are PXE boot capable and have 128MB or more of RAM. I've found that failure to boot the image is usually related to DHCP problems. In fact, I found that on some versions of isc-dhcpd3 on Debian the thin client would get it's initial boot image fine, but the DHCP server would ignore the _second_ DHCP request that comes from the thin clients (from the running Linux, not the PXE BIOS). The 1st DHCP request sends the path to the boot image, the second request sends the root filesystem information so that the kernel can load the thin client's root fs. If the 2nd step fails, the symptoms are that the thin client gets to the Ubuntu load screen but just hangs there indefinitely.
