Yes, but it's nice to be able to do stuff without helpful dialog boxes 
popping up on the screen when unattended (such as "It's been 30 days and 
you still haven't registered Windows XP").

Another thing on my list is an active picture frame - basically an old 
laptop in a picture frame, showing photos pulled from the (Linux) home 
server.
