[LUNI] Embeded Red Hat or other Linux?

Anyone here get these new WYSE terminal's working with Linux? I'm
talking about the WYSE winterm V50 and S50 models. We want to use them
(or something like them) in place of our fleet of (approx. 400ish) Dell
E310/3100 machines. We're wanting to run Linux, Xorg, and FireFox on
them. We've tried Debian, Ubuntu, DSL, and Slackware without much luck.
We'd like to not have to custom roll our own kernel, but I suspect it
may well come to that. The problem so far seems to be that the SCSI
module doesn't load in time for the flash to be mounted as root. I'm
pretty sure that Red Hat had some sort of nifty embeded projects going,
but I can't find what I need (Tom? You out there? :-D) on their site.
Puppy Linux has also been suggested. We're not tied to using these WYSE
box's either, if you know if a GOOD little terminal that's like less
than $350, let me know.
