http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#Debian_Testing_.28jessie.29 The upside is that kernel and tool chain are newer. This can be useful because there have been rapid and significant advance in the ARM stack. The down side is that things have changed since many of the existing tutorials and howtos have been written. Things don't always work as expected. Your mileage may vary, but I have found using the setup Derek Molloy describes at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFv_-ykLppo&list=PLF4A1A7E09E5E260A to be very effective. I allows one to rapidly switch back and forth between OS's for testing on the BeagleBone while keeping all project code centrally located on one's primary development machine.
