[Watford] Low powered servers

[Mohammad Ishaq]

I've been running Debian on an NSLU2 aka the slug for a while - very
low power consumption , reliable but sadly not very powerful. Just use
it as a basic static webserver as well as DHCP/DNS and basic network
monitoring tool.

I wanted to upgrade to the Sheevaplug, but decided to wait till the
version 2 comes out with the higher specs.
