I'd recommend Google for learning how to use it, its all there on the web, I also recommend although this site mainly speaks of a unattended CD installs, it is really handy and most of it applies to RIS/WDS. Another good thing is that it is possible to have 1 "image" although it isnt really an image, its just an XP cd copied to your server, with an anwser file added in for automation. One of the best things about RIS/WDS is that its free and that is one price schools love! It does take a while to learn and even longer to master (and if you're thinking of deploying vista, you may as well skip this, and google WDS and MDT2008). We work for the Worcestershire County Council by the way, hence so many schools. We have found this most successful, as between us we maintain 18 Schools, but our other colleagues will be getting it soon in their schools, bringing the total up to about 140ish. A colleague and I have been using Remote Installation Service or RIS (although if you're running Server 2003 SP2, it will now be Windows Deployment Service Legacy mode or WDS).
