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.

For my personal and professional needs, i've developping embedded linux 
apps with debian and fedora-based distributions, so ubuntu will be easier 
to use.
The latest ubuntu image for arm processors was made on Feb 16th, the 
community is active. I will give a try to ubuntu.

Thanks for your reply
