Perhaps something like <a href="http://www.scratchbox.org/">Scratchbox </a>could help? I've not used it much myself, but it was part of the Maemo SDK, to allow you to compile ARM applications on your desktop then move them over.<br>

Scratchbox is a cross-compilation toolkit designed to make embedded Linux application development easier.
It also provides a full set of tools to integrate and cross-compile an entire Linux distribution.

full Ubuntu/Gnome setups off these things. USB hub, USB display, drive<br>
and keyboard. Supposedly works well.<br>
<br>
The limitation I found was compiling things quickly got old. With no<br>
swap and limited RAM, a whole bunch of things just wouldn't build.<br>
Creating swap on a USB drive helped, but it brought back memories of<br>
booting a MicroVAX from a TK-50 tape drive ... zzz.<br>
