while not shifting from OS to OS as you may want to do, i can share my experience with you.
i tried to follow a lot of the documentation that comes with the BBB and angstrom. and on two different BBB platforms i had the same issues with both boards, broken angstrom packages etc, problem after problem, almost enough hair pulling and dead ends to make me throw the BBB in the bin for good. and the god bless em, R.C Nelson comes to the party. since i install debian and followed his doco basically all i had to do was get the os on the emmc then run two or three scripts that were downloaded and volia i have a happy BBB doing what i want it too, zero problems and reasonable learning curve. plus everyone else has tried his image theres a log of doco and help on the groups here. Plus, Robert will nudge you in the right direction if you ask too. always helpful. maybe Eric if you specify what you want to do down the road people can share their experiences, my BBB just streams data to a NAS. i run a gui on it (lxde) on a rce debian special. good luck, i would put it to you to try one the rcn debian images he's put together for a better initial experience. -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
