"Using the debian release is nice as like when compiling on the RPI, I could install PCM and espeak, by simply doing apt-get install and the packages were installed. On Angstrom I had to find sources build and install. No big deal but it is nice."
Actually, it is a hugely big deal. With the packages already built there should be some minimal testing already done that you wont get when you build it yourself. Just as a for instance, I had the need for Nodejs on my BBB's( still do actually ), and I was running Wheezy with no actual apt-gettable package. No big deal I thought, the Nodejs github page has instructions for building Nodejs from source . . . my first attempt failed, but I quickly found older instructions that gave me some insight to a single command line switch to make Nodejs compile for ARM . .. With this step out of the way I proceeded to get a Nodejs package manager working, compiled in the sources, etc, got it installed, and then went to download a common package. The package manager started pulling in x86 compatible only code . . . Anyway, none of this was a super huge hassle by its self, but by the time I got everything worked out and running the way I wanted, 2-3 days had passed. Very glad to see you seem to be pleased with how Debian is working for you ! I felt the same way, and still do.
