For $150 it's worth a punt!

Isn't that kind of expensive??
Given the HP thin clients going for a song on eBay. Update them with
a Transcend larger flash and they run AstLinux well.
Some even have a PCI slot, though the expansion parts are rare, and
some have expandable ( beyond 128M ) memory, all have an Ethernet
port, 4 USB ports, a Serial and VGA, and many have a PS/2 keyboard
port as well.
Will AstLinux work with an ARM processor??

The BeagleBoard looks pretty interesting, but as John said, is spendy
compared to what you can get elsewhere. Also there is the added
complication of an ARM-based CPU.
Over time, I'm sure more linux distributions will have ARM builds are
first class citizens, especially as the ARM-based netbooks start
penetrating the market.
John: which models of the HP thin clients have you had success with?
