You might need to buy a TS-SER4 serial port extension incase you are planning to go for handling quite a number of inputs. The extension board has four serial ports some of which can be configured as RS-422 as well. But first evaluate the necessity.
AS for using it as your PC, I agree with Jim, but one thing is some of the utilities are not there. (I ran into a problem of getting mkfifo implemented on it and the source i compiled doesnt seem to be working properly :S :) )

Check the technologics website - download the documentation on the ts7260
board. Also check out the technologics arm linux web page for further
documentation.

After you've read stuff on the Technologics website you'll see it comes
with a small linux image on the onboard flash. Technologics also offer
a fairly full debian developement system that allows native developement
on the board - you either pay technologics for media with it on, or you
download the image from their website. They also provide a cross
compiling setup for either a Windows or Linux host developement system.

Yes to C++ compiler, but I don't know how you use you PC so can't answer
the 2nd part.

Read up on Linux - Linux is pretty much Linux, whether on a little arm SBC
or on a multi-way server.

You have options. see above.

Dunno - what do you want to do with it? That sort of defines what
peripherals you'll need.

If you got specific queries about board options etc, first check out the
webpage, then email techniologics direct with your queries - they don't
bite :-)
