I'd recommend BasaBuru using laptops with roaming profiles under a Debian Edu server. That's the solution we are using in Extremadura (Spain) with everylaptop. Using a thin client or diskless solution has no sense with laptops because students might take the laptops out of the classroom, even to their homes. Using a Debian Edu workstation with roaming profiles works perfectly. We're using the ltsp server as an ltsp server where we have thin clients, or like a dhcp/ nfs shares server in the classroom, but the home of the users is in the laptop and the laptop does its own processing. Also, we are also using the ltsp server in these cases as an access point replacing eth0 by wlan0, and thus, controlling who is connected via wireless in every classroom. Some people from the government of Navarra was visiting us a couple of years ago and they saw most of these environments. I hope this will help him.
