Hi Rene!

I have already faced this problem. Well, here comes a little of my
experience working with stateless machines:

- I think you should try one of the cannonical cluster configurations,
like Beowulf. 

- If you would like to try a thick-client, a kind of a diskless machine,
it would be usefull start reading an old but interesting how-to provided
by DNA Lounge: http://www.dnalounge.com/backstage/src/kiosk 

- Another way to work with diskless macbines is building thin-clients.
Some interesting explanations could be found here: http://www.ltsp.org .
This is a nice linux distro that allows you setup thin-clients in a
simple way.

Regards,
Tiago Alves
