William,
Thanks for the comments. Yes, I am in the same position as you...a year
on. I've not touched Linux in any serious way for a long time. I have
been involved in a number of commercial deployments that target
CentOS/RHEL. My role was that of a Java server developer, so I didn't get
all that close to the metal. I am just recently coming off of 3 years of
serious Android development work and hoping to transition to some embedded
stuff (Android and/or embedded Linux) professionally over the next couple
of years. So, I do appreciate your input.
FWIW, I am thinking that things _might_ have changed a bit since you last
looked. I'm using Mint-17 self described on their release page as:
Linux Mint 17 features Cinnamon 2.2, MDM 1.6, a Linux kernel 3.13 and
an Ubuntu 14.04 package base.
Apparently this is not LMDE...that is a different distribution that the
Mint folks offer (and yes, that is still Debian testing, assuming jessie).
I remember reading up on Mint changing directions a bit in the not too far
distant past, concentrating on improving UI on top of a core Ubuntu
distro. So far, so good. Nice UI, performant enough. No problems with
package conflicts.
Regarding the usbnet stuff, I read your response to be that usbnet offers
the potential for a higher bandwidth connection than available over the
Ethernet jack on the BBB. Correct? All other things being the same? That
is, NFS rootfs mount, TFTP, ...
Cheers,
ba
