Not yet, but we are planning to build a series of "headless" embedded
Linux systems (supposedly on a homebrew ARM based PCB) that should be
manageable "somehow" via TCP/IP. Here a quite easy way is to use VNC.
Maybe theses Systems will use nano-X instead of a full featured PC-like
X-stuff.

Once I have the hardware I am very interested in this and might even be

I'm still in a planning phase with this project (in fact since quite a
long time). I already did some investigations on this (and here I found
that managing mouse and keyboard events might be difficult) and did some
tests (with a NIOS processor) and here I found that transferring
graphical data did work fin.
Thanks a lot for your offer !
