There's a remote control util for linux and win32 that's open source. It's called tightvnc. It's very well developed, and it's great for remote admin of unix/linux.. In fact, I'm writing this on windows xp machine, through tightvnc viewer, on my debian linux box. No real use right now, but its over the LAN and has pretty much the same latency that it would have if I were sitting down at it..

Anyways, what I'm getting at, Is I don't know a lick of C. I don't know that much about the ds hardware, aside from the fact it's got like.. 4mb of ram. I don't know if porting a program such as tightvnc's viewer (located here, with source http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html) is even possible.

However, It's usefulness would be simply amazing if it managed to get ported over. Firefox running on windows or linux would serve as a full fledged browser, with working flash (even sound can be relayed). I'd love laying around in bed working on something in photoshop with my ds.. I don't know, but If someone is up to the challenge of trying to port this, or seeing if it's even possible. I'd love you for life.

Once again, the download link is here, will full source (published under gpl)(http://www.tightvnc.com/download.html).
