Hi Aryan and Arash,

Both emails were long and I am in a hurry to leave for the doctors :) so 
could only fly over them. So don't flame me if this is the wrong advice :)

Have a look at LTSP (sorry no URL at hand) and see if this project helps 
you. I think it should. It is a project that has been deployed in many 
official setups and is considered stabel and useable. And it really is 
nice. Try it out.
If you need help with thin clients as hardware, these can be bought (I 
guess) or put together by yourself. 
Also have a look at th amazing OpenBrick project (sorry no URL at hand) in 
this regard.

Or consider having dumb computers that run KNOPPIX from a CD-Rom or better 
even Shabdix :) But no joke, this can a nice setup.

I have seen Sun computers in a thin client network setup with smart cards. 
My god, they rock. Really, no joke.

Hope this soemhow helps.
Greetings,
Arash
