[mythtvnz] thin net client frontend

[James Booth]

I have a T20 sitting here next to me, which I tried out. When it came down
to trying to sort out a video card, get the OS right and working, dealing
with performance issues, etc, it just was not a viable option, and really
not that cheap either, so I canned the project.

I see the compaq t20 can  boot i86 OSs such as 
http://mowson.org/karl/evo_t20/ 

TThe Compaq T30 has a PCI slot (vid card here?) and there is an 
interesting OT description of an EV on this site

What were the issues others encountered?
