Excellent news -- keep us posted on server-devel. If after some testing you
think it's viable, I'll get one of those boards too.

Right now the base install takes ~ 500MB. For a deployment machine,  the
recommendation is that you budget for

 - 4GB for OS + data
 - 2GB x user

for a development machine / testing, at least 4GB is important so you can
rebuild kernels, etc.
