Hi

Right now there is support for only 2 debugging methods:
1. Load and execute a program using the local debugger.
2. Attach to a local process.

GDB has support for a third method: gdb + gdbserver.
On the remote server you execute gdbserver (either attach to an existing process or start a new one - this would be the
user responsibility). Netbeans on the other side will start gdb and issue the command "target remote HOST:PORT" (similar
to what it does when attaching to a local process).
After these steps debugging will continue as usual.

The UI should be similar to the Java debugger UI for remote debugging.

We are adding remote development (although not using gdbserver) in NB 6.5.
