Actually, you the Geode CPU mentioned below is a 5x86 (486 platform) at
233 MHz. If you take Pebble (http://www.nycwireless.net/pebble/), which
is a downstripped Debian (< 64 MB) on a readonly ext2 filesystem, you
should be grand. Installing asterisk + some extra stuff will probably
require, that you have at least a 128MB or 256MB flash or so.

There are actually quite some board around on that CPU, like Soekris,
pcengines and i think also Mikrotik at prices from 120EUR and up.

I'm running pebble on a pcengines board, just needed to customize the
kernel a bit, haven't been testing asterisk on that yet, but i definatly
will in the sooner future.

Kind regards,
