And if the PC is powered on and off it should always return to this prompt, nothing else.
Fedora seems like overkill for this purpose. A google on 'linux "thin client"' seems to show quite a few possibilities.
I agree, but you can also look at changing the /etc/inittab to run minicom (or telnet) in a console.
