A little bit late, but i purchased one.  The reason for Beaglebone 
instead of Rasberry is because it is an open source project and 
Beaglebone is stronger in IO, Rasberry is stronger in video.
  My experiences  so far;
The standard out of the box OS is Angstrom, an OS based on busybox. For 
me this os was not very useful  for me because  perl wasn't standard, 
hard to install extra modules, no automount, NIS etc.  ssh stopped 
responding a few times.
I installed Debian  on an the SD card, this  is a standard debian os. 
Even owfs can be installed directly via apt-get.  see 
http://elinux.org/BeagleBoardDebian
I've setup a test with owfs   with the ds2480 and a ds18B20, it was 
working without trouble.
I want to use the ds2482-800, this can also be bought as an expansion 
board. http://elinux.org/Category:BeagleBoard_Expansion_Boards
Be continued,

Nico
