That looks interesting, running a web server on the thing.  I like the 
fact it's all fairly cheap too.

I did find one guy who had attached a Linksys WRT54G router to a radio 
controlled car, added a webcam and wrote a small app (in VB6 sadly) to 
control the car over the internet.  The router was running OpenWRT and I 
dare say it would be possible to write some similar software for Linux.  
Not sure if that used the Arduino kit though, it did mention it on the site.
