Has anyone installed OpenEMR onto either one of these wonderfully small little networked hard drives that are really tiny Linux boxes?

I would not expect that to work very well, if at all. Even if it has enough memory and CPU horsepower (unlikely), you’ll need the ability to get Apache, PHP, MySQL and other related components running.
For my sister’s practice I built a nice little machine with an Intel “server class” motherboard, ECC memory, dual mirrored (RAID 1) hard drives and a CD writer for permanent daily backups. It runs Ubuntu Linux and I can do administration remotely. I gave the doctors their own SSL certificates so they can log into the web server remotely with their notebook computers (also running Linux) while making it very difficult for an outsider to do the same.

The software requirements are easily met on those boxes. You should see what people are using them for. I agree that a RAID configuration isn’t possible and for running a doctor’s office I would want somethign bulletproof but after looking at some of the code… 
I guess I’ll have to try it and do a writeup
