The cost of the above is close to the cost of using an Intel Atom board
(DG945CLF) but with the Atom board you can opt to use it as a full desktop
if you need or want to.  Just add a drive and an OS.  So Intel Atoms are
what I would suggest.  It is what we are using in our own computer
laboratory.  Our setup is:

- Network Booting with PXE
- ThinStation OS on RAM
- Remote X logins to an Ubuntu/CentOS Application Server
- Virtual Machines (for teaching with different OSes)
