I have similar setup based on a P1 233 Mhz panelPC. Looks great, especially in conjunction with Konfabulator to display some weather/calendar stats.

Here's an interesting linux script for the above commenter: http://www.geocities.com/karlsson/download_from_flickr.html I'm sure there must be other solutions also.
