I have a useful application for one of these mini-systems IF they have 
the Remote Desktop software installed on them. (Yes, I'm assuming they 
all run some kind of Linux, I know that the eee runs a form of Xandros). 
They would provide a convenient front end for the tech naive employees 
of a client to access their windows server that's running remote desktop 
services.

Does anyone know if remote desktop is installed (or installable) on any 
of these?
