Are there actually any alternatives to Sunray that allow a group of 50

Not that I am aware of. Other thin clients seem to be more focused on
the Windows market.
We have done this for some time with Sunray. Admittedly Oracle pushes
the Virtualization solution of one VM per user which doesn't suit us,
and only supports Oracle Linux (we want Ubuntu).
If there was good support for Ubuntu we would likely have refurbished
our graduate computing lab earlier this year with Sun Rays instead of
desktop pc's. My personal desktop is a Sun Ray 2FS driven by a
Scientific Linux 5.8 server (repackaging of RHEL 5.8). I'm happy with
that except when the version of Firefox gets too far behind.
