[Xastir] Small linux computers in a wall-wart sized package?

[Dan Zubey]

One might run and view Xastir just by logging in and redirecting the X
display (ssh -X sheevaplug), but that doesn't exactly give you a mobile
experience.

Really what's needed is to take a mobile platform and just compile
Xastir on it, like a Android phone or something.

I do wish Xastir had it's output decoupled from X. There's more display
devices in the world than X window. Client/server would be nice.
