[K12OSN] Lab of Linux machines

[Todd O'Bryan]

I've decided to throw off the yoke of Windows in my lab. For obvious  
reasons, I'd love to use thin clients, but don't have a server  
powerful enough, and the machines are actually plenty powerful enough  
to run independently.

Does anyone know of a good howto for setting up a lab that explains  
how to avoid problems keeping the machines in sync in terms of  
software, accounts, etc., and talks about how to to set up a shared  
home directory?

Thanks,
Todd
