[Xastir] New, Updated box time - which Linux??

[Gerry Creager]

Actually, it should be implemented on a Geowall 
(http://www.geowall.org), but then, we'd have to start working on the 3d 
version of Xastir to take advantage of the 3d capabilities of a Geowall. 
  I should have a Geowall in here in a month or two.  I'll let y'all 
know how a 1280x1024 wall-sized projection looks!
