Re: GNAT & GPS on Linpus Linux

[anon@anon.org (anon)]

If you want to use Ada with a Netbook or mini I would suggest getting a 
system with ATOM 270 cpu, 2G memory and 16/32G SSD. The SSD allows 
a longer time between recharging.

To find out if GNAT will work.
	Load the GNAT system and example programs onto a Flash Drive.
	Install the drive into a USB port on the mimi at the store system.
        And try to compile and test example programs. Using command line.

Note: You can use either VI or KATE/WRITE for your editor and the command 
line or TERM to compile and build programs. 

        Then try excuting the GPS (will be VGA or low density SVGA mode).

Note: The only problem I see is in using the GPS with a 7 to 12 inch screen 
it might be too hard to see the multi-windows to use. So you might want to 
use the GPS only when you have access to an external monitor.
