Before we went to SunRays (which, by the way, we are very very happy
with for dozens of other reasons), we used old crap PC's which we
net-booted (no internal disks). They ran a slimmed down linux using X
with XDMCP.

We could play full-screen video on those (mplayer on the remote server,
full screen videon on the 'thin client', Xv over fast ethernet).
