Hi Kurt, If you use a large uSD and boot from it you can use the instuctions at http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Expanding_File_System_Partition_On_A_microSD to resize your rootfs to use the remainder of the space. As for the OS not really sure, i was using Angstrom from day one up until about two days ago when i switched to Debian Wheezy. I had angstrom all set up the way i wanted it but was just trying Debian and was really pleased at how easy it was to get set up how i wanted it and my wifi adapter worked right out of the box. Some one else might be able to guide you better since i am currently not working with any hardware, i can not suggest What OS to use.
