slocate on my laptop is particularly annoying, since it is not always on
running Linux, and almost always runs slocate shortly after startup

Under normal circumstances, you'd be right. But the concern here is the

With a sufficiently fast CPU, just by putting the "realtime visual" task at
a high enough priority should stop most "blips" from happening.
Other than that, you could try RT Linux, and put your "realtime visual" task
as one of the realtime components.

Ah. I had thought the requirements for MP were more
crisp. But if MP has simply been spec'd a general
hedge against GUI update latencies or other human
interface quality issues, I'll bet you a beer that a
single hyperthreaded core will address most such issues

Interesting question. I don't know enough about the various vendor
SMP was mentioned as a requirement. Does the hyperthreading
offered by certain Intel CPUs meet that requirement, or will
only two physically distinct CPU packages suffice?

I've done something similar at a few job rev's now.
Some things I've learned...
Get a case with wheels, I use musicians hard cases most of the time, you can
find them at Daddy's or similar music outlets. Even an 8 oz laptop gets
heavy after 2 layovers, 1 delay and 15 hours of travel :)
Weight
And as I recall we had 4 and only one was working at any given time.

I will second Fred's comments but not because of TSA. I think it has
more to do with the baggage handlers. I've had stuff stolen out of my

It sounds like the mini-ITX form factor might be
