Yes the big win with thin clients is that one install is all you need
for the 25 seats and there's not much you can do from the terminals to
break it. However, you would need something like a dual xeon server
with 4 gigs of RAM to act as the server. If you have to go with
standalone workstations, you'll probably want some fast image-based
cloning method to install and maintain them. Clonezilla is pretty good
for that: http://www.clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live/.
