How low-end are you talking? For really low-end systems, i'd use Linux 
Terminal Server Project and have the apps run on a larger server. I'm 
doing that at work to run some web terminals.

Does anyone know of a good distro with X for lower end systems? I am 
looking at deploying this out for our users, so it will have to run 
open office. I have been working with linspire 5.o and sofar 2 machines 
out would take an install.

Thanks,
