[Xastir] Raspberry Pi

[Chip Griffin]

Tom,

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll check out the thread when I get home (on iPad now).

It seems to me that it would be sub-ideal for general use but that for special cases it might be perfect. The Pi is small, cheap, and light. It might be a nice piece to a small system for a local event where a small custom vector map, or no map, might be adequate. It sounds like it can run, and that's a big step.
