Awesome idea! But as a remote server, is the RasPi really up to it?

Maybe not for large-scale web applications, but as webserver for a small blog or as a proxy server, or even just an Icecast Server for some friends, why not?

The GPU would be mostly idle in these cases, as Servers don't usually run a Graphical Interface, which would mean more RAM for the system.

All in all, this might well be an Application the RPI is more suited for than functioning as a media center.
