Hopefully pi has another rev with more horsepower for same price point. Or a competitor does. 

Freedombox seems about in the same space as arkOS, but seems to be coming along more slowly? I've been sort of keeping tabs on both.

I came across Amahi, which is a home server package that runs on Fedora and Ubuntu.  It has packages for Dokuwiki, Mediawiki, backups, VPN, ownCloud and movies.  It uses ReadyDLNA for streaming media and XBMC appears to be able to talk to it.  Maybe Raspberry Pi could be used with XBMC to connect them to Amahi for movies and videos.
