The WYSE Sx0 thin clients can boot off a server, but then there would be no
point in trying to use one as a CNC controller.Running a Linux not provided by
the manufacturer can be a bit
tricky.http://www.parkytowers.me.uk/thin/wyse/s10/Linux.shtml
But that was written a couple of years ago, or more.

Given enough RAM in the thin client machine you can boot of the network and
don't have any storage at all on the client.
I once worked at a company where many of the desktop machines for office
workers had zero local storage and all user files and the OS were stored on
a file server. It was fast enough for most users and it did two things
1) Anyone could sign onto any computer in the building and his files and
desktop were there. Any machine was equally good for any user
2) When a computer failed the IT staff simply unboxed a new machine and
plugged it in, zero configuration. The broken machine fit back in the
same box and was shipped off for repair.
Almost all PCs have a BIOS setting to allow a boot of the network
