You could consider a similarly priced hardware alternative. You ever
hear of the PC Engines Alix boards? Link: http://www.pcengines.ch/alix.htm
They come in a variety of configurations. Generally, you get x86 Geode CPU,
1 to 3 ethernet ports, more than 1 USb port, mini-PCI slots, 256MB RAM, a DC
jack that supports anywhere from 7v to 20v DC, serial ports, and the ability
to run Coreboot (formerly LinuxBIOS).
You could could Voyage Linux directly from a compact flash. Link:
http://linux.voyage.hk/ It's basically Debian for x86 embedded devices. It
keeps apt and runs the entire OS is RAM.
The Alix 3d2 board is available for about $100 USD.
