Back in 2007, I was the tutor on some courses teaching gschem+pcb to ME 
students. The computer lab had windows on all machines. I booted some live 
Linux into ram on each, and had an NFS server running on the network.

I can't remember if the software was running off of the NFS, but I am sure 
the libraries and schematics and PCBs were on NFS. We didn't have 
any problem other than the usual netowrk file system stuff (when multiple 
people tried to modify the same files).

Regards,
