Yup. I find it all to tempting to tell them to just stop being
cheapskates and fork up the $500 or so for a modern minimal system. Of
course, even that's not cheap if you're talking 100 systems.

I suppose in that case you could put a REALLY scaled-down Linux on a
floppy, which would only serve as a bootstrap to download the real
system off the network. But that would probably be much more trouble
than it's worth unless you can find a canned solution somewhere.
