I've been using one as a LTSP terminal for a couple of days now.  Audio support 
was available in 4.2.  I'm running my display at 1280x1024x16.

The X server is noticeably slower on the MicroClient [MC] than the Diskless 
Workstation [DW] 150.  The processor speed is 200MHz on the MC compared to 
500+MHz on the DW 150.  The base ram is the same, 128 Mb.  The MC has a compact 
flash [CF] slot which I have been using booting puppylinux.  We hope to be able 
to use these with the wireless interface for place terminals where we have wifi 
coverage and power but no ethernet. [cheap mobile wireless kiosk]  I was unable 
to get the wireless interface running but I haven't spent much time on it yet.

I suggest you buy an evaluation unit with the wireless interface and PuppyLinux 
on CF.  It give you a lot of room for testing.

It took 4 weeks (looked at a calendar) to receive my eval unit from overseas.
