Not all "small appliances" are flash-based; the Geode-based soekris can use 2.5" disks and has enough memory to run a stock install. The only trouble I've had is with /etc/periodic/daily/470.status-named, which uses an ungodly amount of memory. The AMD Geode is more or less equivalent to a Pentium MMX, and does not have SSE.
