A first release of ltsp-pnp is available, for more details see:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ltsp-pnp

Warning, don't use it on production machines, it's beta-quality yet.

In a test I made, I installed Ubuntu 12.04, then ltsp-pnp, and ran
ltsp-publish-image. In 10 minutes the compression finished and an 1.5
Gb /opt/ltsp/images/pnp.img was generated with about the same contents
as my server, and I was able to boot thin and fat clients with it.

No server reboot was necessary (apt locking was implemented).

(I deliberately had a very complex setup):
