A friend has pointed me to the Pogoplug which right now can be purchased
quite cheaply:

But you have to be careful because:

"That's what was advertised (the pro), and box (sealed) was labeled
Pogo-P21, which should have been the dual core model, but the device was
labeled Pogo-E02, which is this one:

The labeling mess seems to be as a result of them liquidating the
pre-series 4 models and stuffing them into whatever boxes they have."

There seems to be challenges with Fedora support for these devices?
Plus it is also clear that you might not get what you paid for.  Sooo....

I am looking for a cheap, low power platform with ethernet and 4 USB
ports (I would even run my system drive off of USB) with 1Gb memory so I
can load a current FC on it.  Duo core would be valuable.  I have been
burned with this Lenovo not having duo core...

Any recommendations?
have you looked at Raspberry Pi ? Not sure it has 4 usb ports, but
powered USB hubs aren't expensive.

Wow.  This is interesting, but...

Big announcement tomorrow.  Perhaps their shipping announcement?

It is just a board, I would have to build a system around it. Will watch for systems using it in the future, though.
