I'm using a Fit-PC which IMHO superior in every aspect:
Smaller, 3-6W power, CPU is stronger (500Mhz), 512MByte memory, integrated WiFi, internal drive and most important: it is an X86 CPU. Runs Ubuntu or Gentoo.
With these special distro version for PowerPC you are the last to get updates, and your software stack is limited. The software you get is only what the manufacturer has prepared. With X86 you have the freedom to choose.

I would say the Fit-PC is a better cadidate
