Start one of the laptops, and enter "BIOS SETUP". Check the "boot" options, to confirm that "booting from network" is an available option -- this usually is NOT an option for older desktop/notebook systems. If this is not possible, then you'll have to develop a different plan.

You prob dont want to use windows.. Windows even running from a network will use lots of memory.. You are right ubuntu is a great way to make an old pc work great again.. Check out http://www.xubuntu.org/ that is the lightwieght verison of ubunutu and is easy to use..
