If you want to sell a thin client, you should not focus on a brand on what's inside, but on the brand of the thin client. Fridge companies sell their Linux thin client as an "Electrolux fridge". Nokia sells their Linux thin clients as Nokia devices and Sony sells their console as a "Sony Playstation", not as a "OS something thin client". There is lots of money in this stuff when sold correctly, but the market doesn't look like the PC market. It's just all the other markets that get computerized, now that it's so cheap to have Linux-on-a-chip. Remember, that we are talking a webserver more powerful and faster than anything that Microsoft can deliver, with Linux 2.4, and it fits into only 4MB RAM and can run fine on a 386SX-25MHz. One of my friends put up such a server on the internet, and it worked and it got a little traffic... :-)
