Howdy,
I have an old i-opener computer that has a MINIMAL gentoo install
with X.org and flux. Running everything off the other computer and
just using the thin-client for display, it works fine. On the computer
itself there is abiwrod/gnumeric/dillo/aterm and some other basic
stuff. I would say if you could throw in a old nvidia tnt card or
something with 3d glx support it would help for the games for the
kids. But really you might as well throw in a second nic and slap
openbsd on it for a firewall.... just my 2 cents
