In Finland, a number of schools nowadays use Linux in this fashion. This solution has been especially great for modernizing entire computer classrooms at once, recycling old desktop PCs as LTSP clients. A server capable of serving a classroom full of clients is a lot cheaper than replacing the PCs. In my town, there's a company called Opinsys (http://www.opinsys.fi/en/) who does this and publishes most if not all of their code in Github (https://github.com/opinsys/). I wonder if they've been considering Raspberry Pis as clients.
