I'm doing the 'whole enchilada' for my own educational purposes. The 
production units might have a GUI and they might not, depending upon 
location.  All production units will have a web interface (I'm 
evaluating ShinySDR and OpenWebRX as a starting point for our own 
development, but I would love suggestions on a good web interface).

The Beaglebone Black is capable of the full GUI (gqrx); the C2 should be 
as well (we have a BBB doing some meteor scatter measurements for a 
public-facing display).  And FWIW Ubuntu 16.04 has all the packages; I 
prefer CentOS 7 since our other servers run it, and the same staff need 
to admin these as admins the other servers on sight.  But I can always 
punt and load Ubuntu 16.04 and I already know GRC works there.

I will be interfacing both to USRP1's and to RTL-SDR dongles with the 
C2's, and yes it would be educational to run the full setup on the C2 
itself.

So, yes, as a proof of concept if nothing else I do want to attempt GRC 
directly on the C2; I'm at a .edu and that is part of our mission.
