Then there's things like the Nokia n900 / n950 devices; 'phones with Maemo (~= Debian) on them. I've been using the git-core (installed via. apt-get) on my n900 for backups and lightweight development for ages.

The main problem is the IO, in my experience, the device has 256MB of ram, but only SD-card grade storage (like the Rasberry).

ARMv7, according to /proc/cpuinfo.
