Thanks again to all in this thread, after LXDE installed, I am able to run 
Slic3r GUI and successfully turned the Boris STL from Jason into gcode with 
it :)

I'm quite please at this because our Chicago Public Library Maker Lab now 
has a Lulzbot TAZ (100% Open Source :) but they don't have rights to 
install slic3r on their Windows PCs in the lab (it takes long time for IT 
dept to install).  So I've set up a BeagleBone Black their which they can 
run Slic3r on!  Next step is to get printrun and pronterface running but 
the Lulzbot TAZ 4 has a nice LCD controller with SD card reader so its not 
as critical as Slic3r.

cheers,
drew
