I do: I used to have a sheevaplug and I'm currently migrating to an
Olimex_ board (the A20-OLinuXino-MICRO, because I'm starting to need 
the full GB of ram, but if you only need remind and a couple other 
programs the A10-OLinuXino-LIME is just fine, and closer to the price 
of a raspberry, with much more power and a sata port; both run an 
almost vanilla debian, except for kernel and bootloader)

Beside the hardware, yes, having an home server is really useful: 
you can use it as a media server, keep a (centralized-ish) copy of your 
git repositories, expecially those that are a bit too private_ for 
git hub and the like, keep all of your emails under your control, 
while still being able to access them via dhcp from various devices, 
etc. etc.
