I agree with this. I run all my machines with "blank screen"
screensaver. It's long irritated me to see companies deploy
CPU-intensive screensavers by default on thousands of desktops. At
lunchtime the power consumption rockets as all of the screensavers kick
in. Quite sad.

We (Ubuntu UK Podcast [1]) are currently evaluating some of these types
of devices for the show. I've got a Viglen MPC-L here. It has an AMD
Geode CPU, a hard disk and very little else. It's quite slow as a full
on desktop (currently running xubuntu), but as an LTSP device or Server
it would be ideal.
More details in the show when we make it :)
Cheers,
Al.
