Most the system is on a read-only mounted partition, but there is a
small read-write partition to store settings.

With a little bit of typical Linux know-up you can modify anything on
the system. It's a normal flash-drive. Mount it rw and anything is
possible. You could prepare one thin-client, create an image and copy
that onto all the others.
