Re: [beagleboard] Reccomended Development Linux
Do keep in mind there are several steps in my rough notes above that you may, may not want to do. disabling IPV6 for instance, which you may need on a college LAN. Also with this install I chose to install along side windows 7 ( dual boot ), you shounds like you're not going to be doing this. A standard VM install would take the place of this. A few hurdles may stand in your way, just as using USB devices having to be passed from the HOST OS to the virtual machine. Using the network gadget g_ether, this could prove to be a problem. I think I've done this once myself, but it was incredibly slow - Think ~4KB/s. Anyway, I never kept notes on how I achieved that . . .but there is information strewn all over the web about the subject.

So right now there's a binutils for armhf in debian jessie: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf However the "gcc" cross compiler is still stuck in sid: https://packages.debian.org/sid/cpp-4.9-arm-linux-gnueabihf So once that migrates to jessie (if it migrates) you'll have matching armhf cross gcc/binutils/libs that can used to cross build projects for the bbb running jessie.

Re: [beagleboard] Reccomended Development Linux
http://derekmolloy.ie/beaglebone/setting-up-eclipse-on-the-beaglebone-for-c-development/ This is a fairly good guide, and I pretty much followed it exactly using Lubuntu 14.04. Maybe a few small changes here and there, most mostly due to armel versus armhf differences. Lubuntu by the way, is exactly Ubuntu, but with a less graphics intensive Desktop ( LXDE instead of the "garbage" Ubuntu ships with - Unity ). My own very rough text install notes . . .
