For the ultimate in making workstations interchangeable, you may
want to investigate the Linux Terminal Server Project
<http://www.ltsp.org/>.  This may not be a good choice if users
will be doing a lot of CPU-intensive calculations or OpenGL
visualizations, but otherwise, it makes life easier by
centralizing administration.

I can't speak from personal experience, but Jim McQuillan's
presentation on LTSP at Ohio LinuxFest was very compelling.
