Hi,
i can't answer to all your questions, but i really suggest you to go to
:
https://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuDocumentation/BootingClientsWithoutPxe?highlight=%28pxe%29
for replace the PXE boot rom by a small file on your hard disk and
preserve a zero administration on the clients.

is it possible to install a base system to hard drive that consists of
just the image that is downloaded via tftp so that a "thick" client
can boot, and then attach to the server? I ask becuase I have a
handful of old machines that dont have LAN built into the motherboard,
so they cant boot from network, but they all have lan cards that work.
how do you go about setting up a thick client?
are there different levels of "thick" client?
how do I select which is best to use?
is there a way to have the clients update thier install from the
server, in the background, while they are in use?
is this even the right place to ask these questions? (is there a site
somewhere that anwsers them) -- I checked the edubuntu wiki, but I
cant find much of anything there yet.
