I don't think they have a monitor port. What is so special about your program that you think it won't run? Does it hog memory? (if so sort the programming out) Does it use special processor instructions that are not available on that CPU (if so recompile with the right flags). Is it extremely CPU intensive? Does it have some obscure dependencies which may not be available in the available distros (this seems unlikely given that it will run debian). Why don't you email Hadley at nicegear, he is a friendly guy and will help as much as anyone can. Whether he will lend you a machine to play with is another matter. _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canterbury.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
