Well, the PDA does have 32 MB of RAM, but the general idea here (for
me) is to build something that supports working on live headless
images. This one won't be headless, but future ones will be, and
I think it is a very interesting problem to solve. The next generation
of the sub (if I have enough money) will probably switch to an ARM-
based embedded board (like the ELF from Inhand Solutions), and that
will definitely be running headless.
If I wanted to go that (VNC) route, there are lots of remote control
apps you can get for Pocket Windows that take over the whole machine
and let you run a virtual window on your desktop machine.
Later,
Jon
