My BBB is a A5C revision, so I updated the angstrom distribution with the lastest available one (which is not very recent) and once it booted up I updaed the packages (opkg update;opkg upgrade). The repository server is still alive. But the angstrom project lacks of activities, support and community. > > > I have a few micro sd cards 8gigs or more and I have been flashing them to > run headless distros of debian and ubuntu. at that level they are almost he > same thing so.

The latest ubuntu image for arm processors was made on Feb 16th, the community is active. I will give a try to ubuntu.
