If you actual reason was because you wanted to learn how to build a Linux embedded system, maybe yes. But even then, you would be better off getting a real embedded board with a MIPS or ARM cpu like something from ncoretech, beta comptronics or a local vendor.

I have been looking for such a mips based board for a long time now and havent gotten anywhere. Most of the boards available cater to network apps and hence do not fit my bill. Besides x86 was the only viable option.
Years ago me has built thin client and other small time embedded systems on various x86 boards. This would erally be fun and a MIPS based board would indeed have been more compact-low in power consumption and easier to run.
Do pas on some suggestions for any such locally available boards you know of.
Good luck and let us all know how things turn out which ever way you decide to do things.
