In this school, where all student machines run skolelinux, I have
never had a machine cracked. In my previous school (windows 98 - a
long time ago) some student installed a keylogger on the scanning
machine and obtained teacher logins! Then they 'fixed' their grades,
which is how they got caught!
However, I use clonezilla live to re-image non-booting netbooks at an
average rate of one per week I would say. I find full workstation
installs to be worth the extra effort over diskless, so I also use
clonezilla to install and upgrade those.
