Cheap, Debian/NetBSD Compatible ARM Board

[Ansar Mohammed]

Has anyone come across a cheap (less than $50) NetBSD/Debian compatible ARM
board?
I have been playing around with retro-fitted wyse clients for some time now
and have become fascinated with the hackability of some of the ARM based
devices on the market.

I saw this on dealextreme, and I think all it needs is a serial port
soldered to the mainboard to work, as it comes with u-boot.

Then there are these buffalo nas devices that go for $50 on ebay
http://buffalo.nas-central.org/wiki/Main_Page that are extremely hackable..

I am a bit peeved that it clearly does not cost much to manufacture these
devices, and I don't understand why manufacturers insist on locking out the
consumer forcing us to take soldering irons to these devices to re-purpose
them.
