I have to agree, the small version debian version works great! I installed it, put my build-essentials on, added the arm development, vim, and ca-certificates. I am up and running, ssh'ing in and doing my development. Plenty of room left on my 2Gb eemc.
So this works fantastic! I haven't done any startup scripts or time scanning, I am assuming I would have to do something like an apt-get install systemd and an apt-get install nftp to get those setup?
