Well, if you really push it, yes you can have a workstation, sort of. At least you can have a stand alone Linux unit. You’ll have very few tools and no compilers etc, though. To login in text mode you have to press Ctrl-Alt-F2 (even if you are in rdesktop or ICA mode or what-ever). Login as root. The password is pleasechangeme as default (Change it!!! – see below). If you prefer a X interface, boot up in blackbox and make a telnet to localhost.
