I do that using "ssh -X -C".
If you want to do that then you need to have an X server running right? In some situations that consumes more memory, CPU, flash/disk than is desireable. Is there any other advantage to having libX11, tcl/tk, etc. other than wanting to ssh -X -C? I do take your point, but I think you aren't considering all possible applications and environments that Pd might potentially be a part of. > >[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gp2x > > Does that system even support deb or rpm ?
