You could. Probably running the LiveCD image (modified and cut down perhaps)
from the CF card would be a good idea.

It all depends on the RAM. If you don't have 512MB RAM, then things will get
ugly when you want Firefox or OpenOffice.org.

You could try Xubuntu, but it doesn't really save that much. Use the LiveCD
image and rip out a whole bunch of stuff (start with what's only Recommends
in ubuntu-desktop).
