Are any pre-built thin client distributions available? That is, some linux version with good hardware support configured to run live from CD or USB that would come up running x2go?

I don't know about pre installed, but I've had success getting X2Go working on the IGEL Thin Client UD5 and UD3 Linux based systems. If you want info on how I got that done, let me know and I'll try and get it put together.

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.?

I am most of the time happy with a kernel from Debian backports (and
the non-free firmwares as also found in backports).
I am not a hardware fraggle, so I have some devices that are not the
hottest stuff, but with the kernel images from Debian backports, I
have solved every issue encountered so far.
