I think that can be done but it is probably more common to use old/underpowered PCs as thin clients using LTSP or something to network-boot into X with a remote session from a more powerful server.
I use a half-dozen Neoware Capio 616 thin clients with LTSP 4.2 on Centos 5. The setup works great, and you can get those thin clients on ebay for $10 or $20 each, sometimes.
