Windows Embedded Devices thin client machines into Linux servers

[netlogic]

I was wondering if anyone here tried to convert Windows Embedded Devices into Linux servers. I am really into low watt and small devices. I know Linux Thin client machines come in various ARM and x86 processors, so you don't know what you are getting. It seems to me, Windows Embedded Devices consistently have x86 chips. I heard some Windows CE devices have ARMs, but XP embedded device are all x86. I was thinking about installing the operating system to the USB drive and yank all the unnecessary modules and packages and dd to 256meg CF drive and just run only few server applications and mount /var /home onto other servers. Some of these machines only eat 15watts of power and faster than the Linksys NSLU2 which is only 133mhz. I know you can overlock it to 233mhz with a heatsink and fan. What the hell is the point after that? I had my fun for 4hrs with NSLU2. I installed Debian. Now, four people can logon to it! YES! NSLU2 fun has dried out for me.
I was wondering if anyone here has experiences or tried to convert Windows Thin Client machines into servers.

Thanks again.
