#5I was contemplating something like this as I’ve been thinking about a modern business card. I don’t need to run Linux, but I do like some degree of interactivity and uniqueness associated with something I could hand out.

#6"Hey, stranger! Here's my card. Plug it into your computer's USB slot."
Cool project, but as a business card, making someone think they're about to install Stuxnet might not be the best first impression. Heh.

#7It doesn't fix the software side, but I wonder if projects like this are a reasonable solution to hardware-based trusting trust worries. The real hardware is unlikely to know what it's being used for, and Linux is running in a custom VM that's tiny enough to audit.

#8Will it run Doom?
Given no graphics output and all I/O is via serial port... not directly. You could try SLiRP to get proper TCP/IP and use that to connect to an X server somewhere else, and ... I suppose I can't see any reason why that wouldn't work, actually. No promises about it fitting (you're not exactly drowning in free storage or RAM here), it'd be hilariously slow (like, I'd bet below 1 frame per second), but... maybe?
