You don't have to use the network boot capability if you
don't want it, or you could just use a few thin clients
along with standalone linux and windows boxes.  The
samba/ldap howto developed for k12ltsp is at:
http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/Technical%3ALDAP
I'm not sure if they include the equivalent of nis home
directories since thin clients use the server directly
and when they use multiple servers they mount a common
/home instead of individual home directories.  If you
only have one server you can hard-code it or use the
automounter.
