HI William, yeah so far I have been pretty frustrated with Angstrom documentation...
I'm a newbie, so I don't really have any bias for Angstrom a part from the fact that BBB ships with it preloaded... so I figured I would give it a shot. Plus it is described as a distro specifically developed for embedded systems. That said, I used to use Ubuntu (long time ago), so that is what I'm likely to switch to. Thanks!
