SL6 kernel will not support the Jammin's.  F11 *maybe*.

Your best bet might be to install a very old LTSPv4 and grab its 
/opt/ltsp/i386 and /tftpboot/ files, use that to boot your Jammin's, and 
have them XDMCP into the server.  That will require modifying the gdm 
configuration manually.  I think this means you wont have sound or 
remote USB storage.
