There's also the Pegasos.  I don't know much about it but I believe
the current version is a 1GHz G4 PPC on a MicroATX motherboard, or you
can buy a complete system in an enclosure.  Comes with both its own OS
MorphOS and Debian GNU/Linux.  They also offer an "open desktop
workstation" that comes with either Debian or YDL.  From their site:

  Linux is available under the GNU Public License (GPL), ensuring that
  both the binaries and the source code are usable and viewable.
  Nevertheless, most users still seek value-added services and support
  that can be tailored to their needs and objectives. It is for this
  reason Motorola and Genesi have chosen Terra Soft Solutions and
  Yellow Dog Linux when an associated support package is required.

I believe Gentoo supports it as well (probably other distros too).

There are some interesting comparisons on their "Processor" page.
