Some people - admittedly, probably not very sane ones - are running
full Ubuntu/Gnome setups off these things. USB hub, USB display, drive
and keyboard. Supposedly works well.

The limitation I found was compiling things quickly got old. With no
swap and limited RAM, a whole bunch of things just wouldn't build.
Creating swap on a USB drive helped, but it brought back memories of
booting a MicroVAX from a TK-50 tape drive ... zzz.
