Ahhhh, I'm finally starting to comprehend your goal, and some of its potention. You really do want a a kind of 'mobile LAN party'.

One could add games to the server, and have it e.g. in the car, so the kids can play a game while you're on the road.

Tetrinet might be fun for this. Tetrinet Java server.

For Silverlight you can try Mono + Moonlight, but when I tried to use it to play WMV it didn't work, and I don't know how advanced these technologies are nowadays.

For Flash, the device only has to host the Flash file, not support it.

Have you waded through Linuxdevices.com archives?
