We now have two machines, but they could be ofcourse faster.

This is really cool. Since it is already shipped with Debian, It would be 
really nice to get it oficially supported in next Debian release. If I 
read correctly your product page, you provide users a bootable CD to 
bootstrap the harddrive to be put on the device. Is this based on 
debian-installer or something new? I think such cross-bootstrapping
could be usefull for others too.

Cheers,
