One set of hardware to try and get a hold of is the OLPC hardware.
This is widely used in Latin America and Southeast Asia and would be
an ideal "we are doing it for the kids" story. The hardware while
considered EOL is probably going to be in use until 2020 when I last
checked on it a couple of years ago.

Hi all,
To better focus our efforts and to help us frame conversations with
other groups, we need to define a target set of hardware to support. A
big determinant in this is whether we have enough hardware available
to represent this target, otherwise we can't really support it.
Another big determinant is going to be how many packages won't run on
our target. Hardware that is going to require changes to a significant
number of packages is probably going to be out of our reach.
I have a couple of Pentium-M-based machines with 1GB of RAM available.
Not that old, but I can at least check for AES problems. I'll have to
see if I can scrounge up something older from the beige graveyard at
work.
Do we have any pre-SSE hardware? Also, I'd like to see if we can
support a 512MB minimum, if possible. I'd have to check that in a VM,
though.
Thoughts?
