Thanks Scott.

I did some more reading on the board and it appears that it's not as 
limited as I thought. The "custom" Linux we're running is very limited 
(so it appears) and I interpreted the board to be so as well.

I'm a Windows ASP.NET developer thrown off the deep end into Linux so 
please forgive the noob questions. After going through many post it 
appears my questions are pertinent to general Linux.

Thank you!
