Short answer is yes you can.

Longer answer it might take some work.  From what I have seen,
OpenSuse is the current leader in education solutions base on thin
clients.

I am ccing David Van Assche, the opensuse package maintainer.  He will
be most knowledgeable about (or can refer you to knowledgeable people)
deploying Sugar on OpenSuse in a thin client environment.
