essentially i wanna hook it up to my loungeroom LCD, and i want it to boot up to a remote desktop session, so i can pick which PC in my house i want to connect to and use

probably gunna run embedded XP on it

anyone had experience with them?

You may find that the embedded OS is actually CPU/FLASH based not soft (No HDD in other words)... Being SUN also leads me to believe it won't be as straight forward as u think.. Prolly a UNIX based system...:yikes:

I may be wrong...
