Silvan, I would highly recommend pcengines.ch instead. They are quickly available (usually shipped the next day after ordering) from a Swiss store, and so far they are the cheapest linux boxes that I could find. I'm using them exactly for the same purpose - as ssh jumphosts :)

http://linux.voyage.hk/  is a flavor of Debian specifically tailored for these boxes. It mounts the root in read-only mode by default, so your CF storage is written only when needed.

here I put a few related notes in my blog: http://txlab.wordpress.com/tag/voyage-linux/

>All I am taking up is some bandwith (expected bandwith in average probably 1mbit max, half of it for keepalives for outbound vpn tunnels, 
>Power consumption apparently less than 10watts.

>Need v6 and v4 connection, 1 IP each, public, not firewalled, 1 Plug in the power strip

>Since this is a rather non-standard thing I'm looking for, but I need it in a datacenter outside my infrastructure, I thought it's best to ask here.

>Btw, for anyone experienced already or looking into mosh, looking forward for exchange here
