I'm one of the Fedora ARM people so feel free to ask here, there's a lot of work going on to simplify the process of creating images, there should be some more stuff coming soon for creation of images. I would suggest looking at ARMv7 devices as they tend to have more CPU power and memory which would be better for the server stuff. Personally I think the Trimslice H is going to one of the best models as you can put a decent HDD in there and have a self contained unit, although I would love a dual eth option.
