Obviosly programming in the command line isn't very fun, so...
2.install cloud9 ide. You can program over the network, so there is no need connect to a pandaboard.

well, anyway... just my 2 cents.

We really didn't have any trouble with the boot time for Ubuntu on the Pandaboard. Our program is running way before the cRio is ready for it. Thanks for the tip on the cloud9 thing, we'll definitely check that out. CodeBlocks was a pleasant surprise on Linux, I figured we'd be programming with a gcc, a makefile and some form of notepad.
