It's got enough grunt to be able to run Debian, so there's the possibility.

I documented my adventures porting d-i to the DNS-323 at
http://hezmatt.org/~mpalmer/blog/2008/10/23/porting-d-i-to-the-dns-323.html;
whilst it focuses on the d-i work, there's some basic info in there about
the general requirements to get Debian working on a device.

Got a spare one to send my way to pull apart and work on? I've got several
weeks of enforced vacation coming up, but I have no real *use* for one of
these things, so dropping $300 for something to poke at isn't real enticing.
