I read that BBB is shipped with Angstrom. And I only have to update the Angstrom if I want to but even without it, I can connect it to my PC and using PuTTy, make a connection between the two.
But I'll have to install Debian on my own for the BBB, no? Okay, if I do install Linux on my windows using VM, which distro? The same that is on my BBB? And then there will be no need of cross-compiling? (Once I am done with the project can I uninstall that distro from my computer - that was just a bonus question. :D ) Finally, is the programming different in cross-complaining than it is when using Linux using VM on my windows? And I thought you required toolchain when you're cross-compiling?
