VIA Processors

I'm looking to get an low power low cost system to run my seldom accessed webserver. I see that I can get a Asus PC with a VIA C3 processor, but I can find much information about the level of effort to get it (a system with a VIA processor) running Fedora. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I have a 600Mhz CIII that runs fine without a heat sink, but keep in mind, that it does not even have the beans to decode DVD on the fly
in fact my 300Mhz slot 1 celeron is faster, as is my 450Mhz K6-2

I put FC4 on a 600 MHz VIA processor. I don't recall any problems with installation or operation.

The speed of these systems is unimpressive, but then you knew that. They are good for low noise, low heat applications.
