They appear to be very commonly used for LTSP (Linux Terminal Server
Project) and similar. I have used it a few times and set it up for a
library with 16 workstations.

When I first tested LTSP, I used NetBSD as the DHCP, BOOTP, and TFTP
server for it. And for the final product, I used pkgsrc to provide the
software ran by the clients. (NetBSD should provide a ready-to-use
LTSP-alternative.)
