I have a SheevaPlug running Fedora 12 that acts as my DHCP server and
one of my internal DNS servers.  I have a 4GB CF card for its brains.
I also have a spare in case it has issues.

I've been playing with F17 and a GuruPlug but have not, yet, been able
to actually get it to work.  It loads the kernel and initrd and then it
stops.
