I've been using TC for multiple projects involving Thin Client hardware provisioned in remote locations (such as remote security cameras at a festival and POS nodes/signage displays/twitter walls at conferences) and it really is a great project.
Being able to run a complete distribution off a cheap 128MB CF card is a great thing, especially because the packaging process for TC is really simple - packages are simply squashfs files being mounted to / after booting.
Customization and deployment (editing some files and dd'ing the image to the disks) is also really simple. The package repository is a bit clunky and not as big as you'd get with a major distro, but that should not really be a deterrent (see above).
Keep up the great work!
