Agreed.  Good suggestion.

You need a CRAZY SMALL amount of resources.

512MB of memory would probably be enough for UBUNTI + POSTGRESQL + OPENERP.  

These day's even a phone has more memory than that.

Have you considered running an instance of openerp-server on the posbox
and using postgres replication to sync with the main server when online?
Crazy? Not as crazy as rewriting it in javascript...
