There was a discussion a few weeks back regarding what Robert Arkiletian saw
at Kamloops school in Canada. Link for reference:

I was trying to remember the name of a certain project I had read about, and I
just stumbled across it today: DRBL http://drbl.sourceforge.net/ It stands
for Diskless Remote Boot in Linux. Basically, a server is set up which has
the operating system, and it PXE boots clients. The clients then run *all* of
their applications locally, but with no hard drive (all filesystems are
mounted from the server).
I thought some of you guys might find it interesting. It requires high
performance clients since everything is run locally, but it requires only one
installation of the operating system.
