Ok, let us know when you are done...  :)

Actually, I'm not sure why it would be any better to debug the code on a 
different platform.  Do you have some special debugging tools on the 
Linux box?  What makes this more convenient?

Uh, if you test the code, it wouldn't be inadequate testing...

I work exactly in the mode you seem to think is so problematic, use a PC 
for editing, file storage and use the target to compile and test code. 
I found few problems once I got running.  My biggest one was that 
crashing the target required me to go to the other room since I was 
working remotely.  I plan to rig up something on the rPi to let me cycle 
power to the target.  I'm going to bring up another target with Mecrisp. 
  We'll see how that one works.
