There are large deployments in Canada. The ones I know of are in
Kamloops, Chilliwack and Laval school districts.

Kamloops has a home grown diskless solution which they migrated to from LTSP.
Chilliwack is using DRBL diskless solution.
Laval is using Mille-Xterm which is LTSP clustering provided by
Revolution Linux.

I am just a single classroom in Vancouver. I started out using
K12LTSP. This year I just started using DRBL diskless solution with
all new clients. So far I really like DRBL.

BTW Diskless means all processes run on client. But the client
filesystem is remote. (usually NFS based). Unlike, LTSP where all
processes are usually on one central server.
