+ +I've been using it for about 4 months +on a project to build a new spectrometer for the radio telescope at +Arecibo. Arecibo is the largest radio telescope in the world (305m!) in +Puerto Rico. It has 10-times the collecting area of the second largest +telescope in Effelsburg (maybe near you?). + +

+ +The project is an embedded linux box that boots from a compact flash +card. The root filesystem is only about 5MB. X wasn't reasonable +for such a small embedded system, but libvncserver was perfect. On +the console we run graphical diagnostics that write directly to the +frame buffer. It was a simple matter to hook this direct-framebuffer +application to libvncserver. This way we can easily view the +diagnostics for the spectrometer from the control room (or anyplace +else for that matter). + + + + -- cgit v1.2.3
