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.
