I'll plug the k12ltsp distribution again:
http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/
It includes a re-spun fedora distribution with some additions
that not only include an init script for NAT but also allows
network booting of other machines as thin clients.  It would
have only needed the command 'service nat start' if you
weren't running it already.  And, you could give out a
boot floppy that would let someone without Linux installed
come up as an Xterminal logging into your server (not sure
how many a laptop could handle, though).
