That's interesting. I run a SheevaPlug with Gentoo onboard. It runs at
1.2G and has half a G of memory. I have no trouble compiling gentoo on
this little server. It works as a file server, backup server, web
server and portage server (distfiles and portage sync for the gentoos on
my network).

Is ARM more efficient than the intel atom?
