Thanks.  I would have installed Debian on my machine by now, but the 16GB 
Toshiba uSD I bought a couple of weeks ago has failed already.  After the 
first couple of days, I had to reformat it repeatedly, both on the BBB and 
on each of two Windows (XP & 7) machines.  Win32DiskImager didn't work at 
all on the Windows 7 machine: it repeatedly hung as soon as I got to the 
writing phase in a way that required rebooting the Windows machine.  I 
loaded and ran a disk imaging program from an outfit named RoadKil.net -- 
that's a sign of real desperation!.  It got into the writing phase, but its 
progress stopped at 0.06%.  At least it was possible to end that program 
without rebooting the machine.

I'll try to load Debian again as soon as I get another uSD, and not a 
Toshiba this time.

P.S. Meanwhile, I'm using nano.  Not emacs, but not vi, either.
