It all depends how you define "modern."
In this case I define "modern" as "i just bought one (new) last week."
As opposed to other discussion on this list about, for example, actual 386 machines and whether it was reasonable to expect centos to run on them.
Not that I think that anything i can buy today will run an OS that's targetted toward servers...certainly i don't want to run centos on a pocketpc (although i guess you can run linux on one in some form). But i'd definitely hope that certain low-end applications for which i want a dedicated box could run on the same server OS that my bigger stuff uses.
