Not yet. I don't have a great use for that.
Since there is no native QtE environment to live with (native is WinCE here),
I'll be trying some native X server. (Another j820 hacker uses one.)
As for remote sessions, I'm using screen for that :-)

For what it's worth, the keyboard is much better than on a zaurus

But for instance, I moved to NFS the following directories, and I feel lighter:
	/usr/share/{doc,info,man} /var/cache /dev /usr/lib/gcc-lib

Too bad there isn't a debian with uclibc...
