Thin clients normally don't 'run' programs. They're basically graphical display terminals.normally yes, but with an 800mhz processor, 1 gig ram and add storage,

As you would expect from this standard hardware set up I have had no problems running various flavours of linux. For example Tinycore 3.3 works perfectly.
I've also had Tinycore 3.6 booting from a pen drive. I've tried this with a 256MB pen drive and also a 1GB pendrive. In each case I booted Tinycore 3.6 from a CD on another computer and then used the tc-install program to create a USB-ZIP formatted installation on the pen drives. Obviously you need to set USB-ZIP as one of the early boot options in the BIOS.

"I also have a couple of the Wyse V90Ls and have successfully installed Debian Linux onto the stock 512mb DOM with room to spare, though I compiled my own stripped down kernel to save space.
I installed just a base Debian install which takes up around 250mb IIRC. Got rid of a few packages and compiled my own kernel as well as installing FFmpeg and its dependencies and it's still under 200mb. Can easily install X and other applications in the remaining space."
