I would be happy if this hardware platform would be chosen:

http://www.thinknic.com/

Simply put, the idea is: CD in the box, boot, and it works.

There is 64MB RAM available, 200MHz CPU and it costs $199.

There are a few different efforts for this hardware
platform. That can all be tried and compared easily. All
software is open source. People are making webservers with
it, routers, terminals and so on.
