Just about any linux distro would work for the basic usage.

Basically what I am doing is using XDMCP through gdm (look in the
gdm.conf for the XDMCP settings).

Just turn that on, restart X and make sure the client computers can
connect to the port XDMCP runs on and should be as simple as using
Xnest.

I have a few linux clients here and a windows computer running cygwin
with Xnest. 

Then there are the bootable cds (like PXES) that will boot up and should
detect a running xdmcp server. 

I haven't played with K12LTSP yet, but might do that in the near future,
but for now my current setup works well enough.
