The situation with the t410 seems like it will be similar. The TI tms320dm8148 SoC that it uses has what looks like very good publicly available vendor SDK support[2] (including free-as-in-beer available DSP support, which is a rarity.) If HP haven't locked the bootloader then it should be possible to convince a t410 to boot as an LTSP client as well. This is something I'd actually enjoy trying given the chance (as I'm sure others would.) I've ported Debian to some other ARM devices but they're always cheap devices with poor vendor support - both the SoCs in these HP devices look like they have better support.
