Quake1/2/3 servers are very portable though. I even ran this, with client, on SGI MIPS. Enemy Terrirory I don't know, its basically a Q3 mod.

I'd also love DVB-H on it because public television broadcasts (similar to the Beeb) on DVB-H are free here (already paid for via tax).
Please check the original post. The goal here is for applications (games, etc) that are highly portable. Forget x86 dependencies. That's too Microsoft-centric. I'm talking flash, java, silverlight, etc.

Personally, I don't care to support ANY closed source apps for this premise.
