I'm looking more for something that would work to boot older laptops. Don't need it badly enough to build my own, but thought it might be handy after xp support expires to be able to revive one for occasional use without installing anything.
Install a minimal Debian system. Add our package archive [1] and then install the package "x2gothinclient". Done.
You can install this setup to a local hard drive or on a USB stick and make that bootable via syslinux.

I know it is relatively simple but I thought perhaps someone had already done it with some research on the best underlying support for hardware. Is debian as good as ubuntu for things like wifi firmware, etc.?
