Stuart, We are a small boarding secondary school (about 230 students). We are using LTSP exclusively in our student labs and around campus. We finish our first full school year with LTSP in a couple days. I can report HUGE success.
As for demo's, I have my laptop set up as an LTSP server. My favorite thing to do is to walk into a place with the laptop and a bootable ethernet card and ask for any old computer lying around with a PCI slot. I plug in the card and in 5 minutes (including boot time) we have a working terminal using the old hardware supplied by the demoee. That usually makes their head spin.
