Hi,
Memory serves me poorly.
I was disappointed it did not have a fixed mac address. You had to go in
and set it by hand. Which meant that
there was no way of identifying one cubie board from an other. Thus, a
licensing model of a particular
mac address to software instance was never going to work. I think the
list went through some discussion on this
and most seemed to feel the licensing of a particular machine was wrong.
There was no real trouble getting wheezy onto them - the internal hard
disk was a bit strange. My hope was to
use the internal flash - some people said "this and that", but I think
the thing that worked the simplest was to
use an external USB stick and get everything onto that. (this gave more
space for compilers etc).
As to the model - cubieboard 2. More cpu is good.
HTH.
Derek.

Only just came across this post.
I was playing with a cubieboard last year and had terrible trouble
getting a general-purpose Linux OS installed.
Can I ask: what cubieboard model do you have? Can you recall what
steps you took to get things running?
Cheers,
Roy.
