The Asus F2A85-M has the same NIC (RTL8111, uses the r8169 kernel module). It has only one bug I'm aware of: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55841

I don’t think there’s enough memory on Gizmo (1GB?).  And no slots, so the result would be kind of brittle. 

 

I’ve had a small AMD Family 14 system from Foxconn running Linux for my kids for a while now (many months).  I bought it at NewEgg but I don’t think the exact model is still available.  It’s maybe just a little bigger than a paperback novel.  No serial port, though. 

 

See:

If I remember right, the NIC is an RTL8111 (variant of gigE RTL8169).

 

They have new models in a similar form factor.  But I doubt they have a variant that sports an Intel NIC and serial ports.

 

No experience with this:
