Good news guys, turns out that we already had a real-world
working model! :)  Thanks to Or Botton, who pointed it out:

"Cheap Computing Column, by Robin Miller
 Geeks Into the Streets

 Geeks Into the Streets (GITS) is a fancy-sounding name for
 a small group of Baltimore-area Linux fanatics who are using
 their skills to bring computers and Internet access to some
 of the poorest, most disadvantaged children you can imagine.
 This is not a government or corporate effort, just a bunch
 of guys who saw a need and got together to fill it."

The thin clients used are mostly 486s.  For less powerful
SurvPCs, we still need to write a (thinner) X-terminal
emulator.  Preferably under DOS, since AFAIK, ELKS (Linux
for 8086) is not ready yet.
