The PandaBoard is not very "thin", it's strong enough to run Ubuntu 11.04.

The main problem here is that low power devices much like the one you have
are not powerful enough to really run an X11 server (or it is much more of a
problem than on the pandaboard). xfreerdp does take advantage of hardware
acceleration for many GDI operations, while dfbfreerdp won't. The only
solution is to write a DirectFB-specific GDI implementation that makes
libgdi, but using the DirectFB API. This way, dfbfreerdp could take full
advantage of the hardware acceleration available.

What Every C/C++ and Fortran developer Should Know!
Read this article and learn how Intel has extended the reach of its
next-generation tools to help Windows* and Linux* C/C++ and Fortran
developers boost performance applications - including clusters.
