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.
However, there are none on that list that are officially supported.
So
our cheapest entry level supported board is what about 100 bucks?
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.

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.

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.
