You can yes.
Depends what you want to do as to what you'd need, probably some sort of linux distro though.

Usually useless though due to the latency issues and what not. Special hardware is usually required for a decent setup.

It depends what sort of work you are doing, if it just needs to get a bit of data then churn away with it network latency isn't an issue.

Yes I know that, the word small meant very small/underpowered compared to a proper one.
