Yes, that is the image I downloaded to start the process. I installed kdm and I thought I set it as the window manager, and I selected xfce in the sysconfig editor in YaST, but I still get IceWM. I have not devoted a lot of time to sorting that out.
Yeah, that was where I made the change, too. With the new YaST, we don't have suseconfig to run or anything like that, do we? I also tried changing it directly, as the sysconfig editor in YaST didn't seem to want to load up in ncurses properly. It did with the qt interface, though.
The Pi should do what you want; however, I'm not sure how fast it will be. On the Pi, I used driver r8188eu and got a maximum of about 12 Mbps running netperf to a wired server. That compares with 40 Mbps with the same device/driver on my x86_64 laptop. I suspect that the USB system on the Pi is slow. When you also use the ethernet port, which also goes through USB, it may be really limited.
Good point, I remember now reading that the network interface was connected to the USB bus, which would definitely affect performance. I was thinking the PS3 I was thinking about using this for was limited to 802.11b, but apparently the built-in wifi is a G adapter and not just a B adapter. I'll do some testing myself later in the week to see what kind of net performance I get. The wireless is fast enough to stream mp4 video via NFS to openelec on a second sd card (I've yet to try an mkv file), but that performance I've been pretty happy with. I've also been looking at trimming down what's in the image to reduce the memory footprint. Interestingly as well, x11vnc gives a relatively small image compared to the full HD output on the HDMI port. I didn't have to pull a config.txt from anywhere to get full HD on my setup, that just worked out of the box. I did have to grab firmware for my wireless adapter, though - but I kinda expected to have to do that.
