So if it's a netbook why is there a usb drive with an image of it? Is that an install image incase a reinstall is neccesary?

Exactly. Sometimes the classmate can go a little crazy and needs to be reimaged.

If so would it be able to (and useful to) install it on other hardware/a vm so that we have multiple computers that can run the driver station?

There is a version of the driver's station software for other computers out there somewhere--I'm sure someone knows where that is. No need for the Classmate image for that.

Also, it looks like the Classmate will not be the only legal computer to use as a driver's station this year, but restrictions on other computers have yet to be announced.
