It is good news that you are working with Robert on Debian. IMHO this is the way to go. Robert is doing so much for the BBB community. TI should support him in every way they can. It is a fact that BBB developer resources are extremely limited. So efforts should really concentrate on getting the serious stuff working properly, I mean the basic things a serious developer needs: kernel + stability + Qt, because Linux is used for touch GUIs, not as a desktop replacement. For me Linux Desktops, Cloud9, USB networking etc. is just a big waste of precious development time, unless the intention is to fool new customers that the BBB is something easy to use. This is definitely not the case and will never be! Just have a look at all the posts in this thread.

Then this somebody just did not have the time to fix the bugs and they stayed there. I already discussed this in another thread.
