 By installing the VNC viewer plugin, we can get a graphical interface to our Gumstix system.

 ==Install a native C/C++ SDK==
 When we discussed Python and Java we noted that both are interpreted languages--- neither needs to be compiled. C and C++ code requires compilation which can be done natively---on the Gumstix itself---or on a development machine using a cross-compiler. To do native compilation, you need to install a compiler as well as any required libraries. You'll need to be booting from a microSD card as this installation takes approximately 75MB of space.
