I'm not involved with embedded systems much at all.  But Google turns up
a number of HOWTOs for Linux on a Soekris.  These two looked most
promising:
        http://wiki.antlinux.com/pmwiki.php?n=AntLinux.LinuxOnSoekris
        http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~peterb/linux/soekris/ (uses
        RH7.2)
        
You could probably take any old PC that someone is trying to get rid of,
clean it up a little, throw debian stable on it, and have it up in a few
hours.
