To be honest, why use diskless workstations? No one will be able to do anything with them at all if the network or the applications server is down. Also, the cost savings of not buying a hard disk for each unit is negligible, and there are even programs out there that can store a drive image and then write it onto each workstation's hard drive at a specified interval if you're that worried about people crapping up the system with personal junk. All in all, you're better off going with real computers.

I think so, at least.
