Re: SSH on the Pi?

What Linux calls "Remote Desktop" is generally VNC. I have no idea if the "Remote Desktop" server automatically activates at startup though.

Re: Some questions.

1) Many wireless dongles are compatible (but take up a USB port)

2) A powered external hub solves the problem.

3) Farnell/Newark/element14 or RS Components/Allied Electronics.

Re: SDHC? Or just SD?

The HC in SDHC just stands for "High Capacity" so you'll be fine.

Re: USB Display monitor

1. Drivers will have to compiled for ARM

2. It will need a powered hub, as it probably requires more than 100ma.
