The speaker, Mark Mills of Enea, gave a demo of running Open Enea Linux on a BeagleBone Black. It appeared to give the flexibility of Yocto to tailor the system to your needs while also offering a large number of binary packages: http://www.enea.com/en-US/solutions/Enea-Linux/Open-Enea-Linux/ (Personally though I am partial to Debian and the Robert's console images have always been sufficient for my needs) cheers, drew On Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 3:53 PM, Rick Mann <rm...@latencyzero.com> wrote: > >> On Jan 21, 2015, at 13:43 , William Hermans <yyrk...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> "super-paired-down distro" <---- definition required.
