I've used it. It's just about the other way round from a LTSP network. 
You need a week server, but with fast drives. More than one client from 
a CD-ROM doesn't work well. And you need strong clients. 32MB RAM simply 
won't work. I'd recommend at least 128MB. In the end, it's just normal 
Linux booted off an NFS share. It does work nice, and you do save money 
for not using hard disks. It's a good solution if you have a bit more 
money or stronger hardware, IMO.
