I'm thinking in the other direction.

I'm trying to build a dual athlon/1GB DDR ram system with a very minimal
linux. 

The login can be configured to send you directly to Squeak, no bash
even! 

With almost total control over two processors and a whole mess of memory
(900mb avail!) it should be very competitive in performance as well as
ease. =) 

My motive in this is to support my AI research.
