Just for the record (since Rachid seems decided on DreamPlug):
Raspberry Pi is a bad alternative: Debian is unlikely to ever offer code
optimized for that particular hardware (ARMv6). Possibly someone will
put together FredomBox-like image based on the Debian-derived Raspbian,
but I recommend to instead go for some of the options tracked at
https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/TargetedHardware

The european model is exactly the one you will want, as it only vary
from the american model by the plug. :-)
