I've been thinking along the same lines, so I bought a Sheevaplug the
other day, hoping to run a Diaspora instance off it.  Unfortunately, the
datastore used by Diaspora, called mongodb, doesn't run on ARM hardware
(like the Sheeva, or all the Android phones).  So on that score, it was
a bit of a downer.  On the other hand, it does run pretty much
everything else, even encoding video when I told it to (real slowly).

I'm having a lot of fun with it, cheap and crappy low-power computing is
the wave of the future!
