Pogoplugs could be an option ( http://www.pogoplug.com ) they seem to 
have wide distribution (here in Switzerland some big retailers have them 
in their shops). The company seems also to have a friendly attitude 
towards the homebrew community 
(http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale8x/blog/open-source-hardware-hacking-pogoplug). 
In fact next time I go downtown I want to buy one to try it out. I don't 
know if there is a debian distro for them tough.
