We did a fair number of diskless Linux workstations in the late
1990s through 2002 or so, but I found that maintaining the server
side code to be a pain.

As these died off, we replaced them mostly with Mac Minis,
connecting to the server with ssh and running xterms.  The
clients really like the OS X interface for e-mail, browsing, etc.
and my life has been much easier.
