Performance must be pretty bad.

Actually, it was quite workable. What you saw in the xterm were all the processes running on the empeg. Of course I stopped the player first and I only tested the config-util for windowmaker, but that worked pretty smooth. It would be funny to run ethereal on it and have a portable sniffer
BTW, It's also possible to run a VNC-server on it, so you could login using a webbrowser
