What would you recommend as a small-cheap board, that would be supported into the future with Fedora. (Couple of years at least)
Rasperry-PI seems to be out due to sfp.

I would look at the ARMBRIX board coming out, but then again that depends on what "cheap" actually means to you. Anything based on the AllWinner SoC will be cheap but their upstream support is somewhat lacking, although it is improving (slowly). There is nothing in the same price bracket as the Pi atm.

Fedora Remix works fine on the Pi.
Main problem I am having now is uptime. I tried to have the whole system installed on the SD card but already killed two SD cards this way. I also tried to have the system on an USB disk but it will get stuck after a handfull of days probably because the USB resets at some point and the root pratition gets disconnected from the system at that point.

It depends on your criteria for "small" and "cheap". There will be a Pi remix/rebuild (armv6hl) from us (Seneca) later this quarter. The next smallest/cheapest board that has some of the Pi qualities (easy accessible GPIO/I2C/SPI, for example) is the CubieBoard: Allwinner A10, 1GB RAM, Sata, 10/100 eth, $50-75. The smallest really fast board will be the Armbrix in a couple of months.
Note that none of these are actually on the current Fedora ARM supported board list, but they all work pretty well :-)

I think he means something like the pogoplug mobile that was 17 bucks earlier this week from jr.com. :)
However, there are none on that list that are officially supported. So our cheapest entry level supported board is what about 100 bucks?
The raspi isn't even officially supported.

But the last supported release for armv5 will be fedora 18.

There's a f18 remix image for the all winner a1x devices and we're working to improve that style of support. I suggest the best cheap device with a level of support that will only improve is the $49 cubieboard. Its more capable that the RPI in every way.
The raspi isn't even officially supported.
And is unlikely to be, while the user space of the xorg driver is technically open it needs a lot if work to be useful within Fedora.

Is there some data about respective power consumption?

A few days ago, somebody on #cubieboard IRC channel (@freenode) measured the current drawn and it was at about 300mA with nothing connected and no load spiking over 1A when HDMI, LAN and USB peripherals were used and the processor was under load. He wasn't using Fedora though. :) I don't have the logs at myself right now unfortunately to tell you exactly what he has written. For concrete numbers, try asking there or on the the forum or Google group. The Cubieboard community is really great and helping. However, I don't have the board yet but it should be on its way.

Thanks I am insterested in a board that is somewhat cheap, stable and low power consumption so it can be one 24/7.
I have been experimented with the Pi for 6 month and cannot vouch for the stable part unfortunately.
Power consumption is 7W including external hard drive which puts the annaul electricty cost at roughly EUR 7 where I live.
I will look at the Cubieboard as a replacement for my Pi.

Well, I think it's more power consuming than the Pi. Don't have any evidence for that, though. But most of the power consumed in your case goes to the drive. Spinning the disks needs a lot of energy.

Am looking at the Cubieboard site right now. It should do my use case nicely.
As soon as I finish modding a nas. Will order a cubie.
