Thank you; it’s long been a bit of a joke that developers should be forced to work on the slowest possible machines so they don’t get carried away by the speed of {insert latest toy here}. Now with things like the Pi it is so easy to have a slower device around for testing that there really isn’t a good excuse.

If you haven’t already, consider installing the xrdp package on the Pi and a suitable xrdp client on your main machine. I find it a lot more convenient that having the Pi (or Pis in my case) hooked up to separate screens.
