Just for the record (since Rachid seems decided on DreamPlug):

Raspberry Pi is a bad alternative: Debian is unlikely to ever offer code 
optimized for that particular hardware (ARMv6).  Possibly someone will 
put together FredomBox-like image based on the Debian-derived Raspbian, 
but I recommend to instead go for some of the options tracked at 
https://wiki.debian.org/FreedomBox/TargetedHardware

The european model is exactly the one you will want, as it only vary 
from the american model by the plug. :-)
