I am fairly certain that this has been answered but I have spent the last 
two hours perusing the Wiki, the website, and the forums looking for a 
definitive path to move my BBB from Angstrom to Debian. I am left with some 
questions which I am pretty certain someone has already answered but I 
still need pointers.

   1. Is it better to run Debian from MicroSD or from the eMMC?
   2. My native OS environment is MacOS. I have decompressed both Debian 
   images on my Mac. For the MicroSD it seems the easy way to write the image 
   is with dd using a 512-byte blocksize (one sector), right?
   3. Is there a way to write the eMMC image from MacOS? I'd rather not 
   have to boot up Windows if I can avoid it. (After all, we are trying to run 
   linux and having to run Windows in order to do maintenance on a Linux 
   system just seems ... wrong.)
   4. Is there a way to write the eMMC image from the running BBB? Seems 
   that maybe I get it running from MicroSD and then rewrite the eMMC. 

Thank you.

Brian
