This is the easiest thing in the world.  Just run the VNC server on
the student machines, and you can either use vncviewer or a simple web
browswer to look at any of them.

Looking at all of them at once is just as possible - you need a big
screen though!

The linux machines can access the network, using tools like smbclient,
the lisa daemon, etc.  The users will need suitable IDs on the network
to access the resources.

But all *nix systems have thier own networking structures, and it
would be wise both to understand and to teach them as well.
