Since the DreamPlug[0] was indicated to be the current reference
hardware for development, I think that would be a pretty safe
assumption.  I would also suggest that it is a very flexible server for
many purposes, when the day comes that you might like to get a
built-to-spec, plug and play freedombox to replace your development
device.  For $149 USD, it's a bargain.  I've had a SheevaPlug[1] for a
few years and have utilized it in several different manners to provide
services for work-related development, and now for my home network.  It
continues to be a very useful device, and I originally purchased it
purely for fun.
