This might be a good place to start looking.

I got a beagleboard mx, but it is for a different project. I'm not up to
speed on it enough to comment if this is the best solution. I can tell
you the hardware design and more importantly the documentation of the
hardware is very good..well compared to the competition. I passed up the
pandaboard because I thought the hardware documentation was a bit skimpy.
FWIW, you can run opensuse on it.
It seems to me if you want to run matlab and labview, you will need a
dual core atom at the very least. But that seems like it should be a
different project.
Network control means different things to different people. If you want
NETWORK CONTROL (as in I am shouting), you probably want IMPI.
Supermicro makes a D525 board with IMPI, intended for low power servers.

I only know about IMPI second hand, but system administrators swear by
it, as in saved their arse! Remote operation is always kind of dicey if
the remote device isn't working well. With IMPI, you can actually mess
with the bios. Supposedly it ls like really being there.

Consulting the hive mind..
If you're building a standalone widget (e.g. something like an NTP
server we've been discussing, etc.) with an embedded PC, don't want to
fool with hardware designing, etc.; use off the shelf OSes (win and
Linux) and software (Matlab, Labview); have solid state boot/storage
media.. No user interface needed (access is solely via network)...
What's the hot ticket these days..
One of the CarPC things (most are a miniITX/miniATX with a USB or SD
"disk drive"). (This is what I used last time)
Raspberry Pi is a possibility, but I don't know that it has the oomph to
run things like Matlab: and I suspect it doesn't run Windows....
I'd like something I can just order and give to the software guys to
start coding on (they're using Matlab, Labview, and Python, in various
combinations). Eventually, it will be packaged "inside the box" which
is about 10x10x3" along with the GPS receiver and other measuremnet
stuff (an FPGA with counters and the like). The FPGA will use USB for an
interface (I think..)..
