Look at sysinstall's preconfig massive install options. Also,
you can roll your own releases. Once the make release is automated,
it would be easy.

Xscreensaver

Consider the following setup:
1. seperate partitions on each terminal with:
* /usr
* /usr/local and /var on the same place
* /usr/X11R6
* a directory for user abuse and data. (You can allow users r/w
on /usr/local and/or /usr/X11R6)
2. NFS mounted /home if you require worker sharing information.
3. Nightly, or upon whenever you choose to update.
Use PXE/rsync/dd or tool of your choice to sync up the
seperate partitions.
Merry Christmas,
