The GS models v1.0 - v4.0 all run linux but the v4.0 was downgraded from 
32MB Ram/8M storage to 16MB Ram/4M storage (same as the G model).  The 
v1.0 may be the "most desirable" as the ADMtek6996L chipset provided 
some extra options for QoS control over the BCM chipset they switched to 
in v1.1 of the GS.

The new v5 GS has been further downgraded to 2MB storage and will run 
VxWorks.  I don't believe there are any plans for a any further linux 
models of the GS.
