Would you like to enumerate why you wouldn't use Mint? I was under the impression the Mint-17 is based upon Ubuntu 14.04LTS, and thus fairly stable. Personally, I can't stand Unity...but YMMV. What distro would you suggest?
Well, at the moment, all I have is my MBP laptop to support this effort. So, either I setup NFS on the MAC and hope for the best, or use a VM running some Linux. I thought I'd give the VM approach a try as a first step in order to not introduce native MAC NFS vagaries into the mix. Probably could try that option now that I have things limping along. When you say NEVER use X, I'm assuming you mean running X windows on a dev env (Linux Mint)? I'm not running X on the BBB (well, I do often use X forwarding to the MAC/XQuartz for stuff like (gasp) emacs, xterm, ...). My thought was to do dev on the MAC (straight away or via a VM) using a shared file system between the MAC and BBB so I didn't have to copy files around, nor risk loosing everything if the BBB goes toes in the air or the uSD craps out. I'm all ears on suggestions for a good dev setup though!
