Both will have custom/ARM based kernels.  Having used ARM versions of
Debian on Sheevaplugs it's generally extremely stable.  I've just checked
and Debian (2.6.32) on a plug (no gui) with a few applications installed is
only using 596M storage and 85Mb RAM

This is an intriguing project from a portable computing perspective as
well.

I want one! :)
