It's not clear what you're thin clients actually are.  Without knowing
that, we can't really guarantee anything.  

However, what you should need for an edubuntu thin client is

  - i386 pc hardware
  - 64MB RAM (you might get away with less)
  - Pentium 2 (late P1 will usually work fine)
  - network card that does PXE booting

A hard disk is not required.  What exactly are your thin clients?
