If the PCs don't come through, you could always try LTSP (Linux  
Terminal Server Project):

http://www.bristolwireless.net/news/?p=189 and  
http://www.bristolwireless.net/wiki/index.php/LTSP

Quote: "LTSP allows one server, which needs to be a fairly high spec  
machine, to run terminals on very old machines; we find anything from  
a 90Mhz Pentium I upwards makes a very fast client. The boot time on  
these is very fast and the user experience excellent."

Cheers,

Matt
