Is the TREX C1 compatible with µCLinux ?

Hello, I want to play with the NIOS II processor and, in a second time, with µCLinux.

So I want to know if this board (http://www.terasic.com.tw/cgi-bin/page/archive.pl?language=english&categoryno=39&no=14&revision=018&partno=2#section) has the minimum requirements to boot a linux system.

I want to play with the VGA interface, the audio output... and maybe use the GTK library.

I don't know if the FPGA has enough logic elements ( it is an EP1C6) or enough memory associated ( 8Mo of SDRAM and 1 Mo of Flash). It also includes an CF card (in true ide mode) socket to store the OS for exemple....

This is the cheapest devolepement card I've found on the net (149 $). If it is not suitable for Linux, which board must I choose ?

Thanks for all http://forum.niosforum.com/work2/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif
