Since we had no time to work on Linux emulation layer for OpenBSD we tested NetBSD. At the end the whole project failed but we learned valuable lessons.
For your information the only two operating systems which were light enough to be used on the Wyse thin clients were OpenBSD and NetBSD. Wyse provided embedded Windows and Linux were so crippled to be able to run on the thin clients that were practically useless (there were missing so many libraries) that no application could be installed.
It was nice talking to you too kid
