I'm in the process of doing this with a beaglebone black[1] I had lying around. I wanted to have a minimal wireless access point and firewall for my home office. It's cheap, low maintenance (after install), and completely configurable. Tying embedded systems into the Project:Installer would be amazing! It would be awesome to see an installer handle distcc. -Josh [1] http://beagleboard.org/BLACK
