Those are some good links. One of the new BBB Rev C units I just got had a bad HDMI port and so I had to send it back for RMA. When I got the repaired unit back it had angstrom on it so i had to figure out how to flash it back to debian.
The instructions here: - http://hifiduino.wordpress.com/2014/03/17/beaglebone-black-base-operating-system/ look good except that I'd be sure to get the latest "flasher" image from here: - http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian#Flasher Updates seem to happen on a monthly basis: - 2014-06-05 - BeagleBone Black: v3.8.13-bone56 kernel - 2014-05-06 - BeagleBone Black: v3.8.13-bone49 kernel - 2014-04-18 - BeagleBone Black: v3.8.13-bone47 kernel One of the nice benefits of this experience (ordeal?) is that I got a base or bare minimum debian install with none of the fluff and there was even some hardening done as far as the usernames and passwords go. Below I will share some of the details for your consideration.
