Nice to hear about your setup and experiences. There has been quite a few school linux stories lately and that inspired me to write about our experiences at Opinsys.
We've been using netbooting LTSP thin/fat clients for quite some time and recently we have started using the same images also for laptops and we are also netbooting the terminal servers that serve the thin clients. This has made laptop management much easier for us than it was before. For schools this means much faster updates than previously. Hopefully I'll have soon more time to write about the actual technical solution and how to try it out.
