If you see my posts on the R-Pi forum, you'll see that my impression is that R-Pi has too little memory to be useful for most things, let along desktop use. I have another reason for looking at getting Eclipse working since I am porting RHEL6 to ARM, and Eclipse is one of the last packages that I haven't been able to get to build.
