Hey all, I am pretty new to the Beaglebone so I might have my facts a bit off. I am trying to determining the most appropriate OS for my use.
-- Angstrom -- Pros. 1. Very lean embedded OS. 2. Much of the existing documentation and tutorials are based on angstrom. Cons. 1. Steeper learning curve because is different than a normal linux system. 2. Smaller user base so less polished than other OS's. -- Debian -- Pros. 1. Based on a standard linux OS so the knowledge transfer is high. 2. Large body of well tested packages. Cons. 1. Heavier. Less optimized for low memory systems. 2. New. Less tested and less documentation. Then the second decision is between the official Debian on Beaglebone release and Robert's release. --Official release-- 1. More complete system. 2. Will become the default OS. --Robert's-- 1. Leaner release. 2. Is the 'base' for the official release. Is my understanding correct? Are there other factors I am missing? thanks David -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
