This is a quirk of Debian.
Systemd represents a pretty fundamental shift to Linux distributions.
Conservative distributions like Debian have taken a wait and see
approach before adopting it. As a result the version of systemd in
Debian stable, Sid, is pretty old.
One option would be look at
As a new comer to the BeagleBone one of my biggest challenges has been
related to the numerous choice of operating systems for the board.
Based on the various threads on this and other lists, it does not seem
that I am alone.
Would be possible to achieve consensus around a single OS as the ref
A good term to google for is hardening a Debian server.
There are many articles and several good books for people with various
backgrounds.

I'm interested in looking at using BB with Node.js. If I come up with some

At this point everyone involved in the development and manufacturing
of the BeagleBone Black is doing so at break-even or a financial loss.
This is an intentional strategy to build a critical mass of students,

I would recommend that you upgrade your machines to the new Debian
based release. I think you will find that there is more information
about Debian than there is about Angstrom.
The reason for the project moving from Angstrom to Debian is to allow
developers to use Debian which is more common and
Some shops are really good at churning out small (100 to 10,000 units)
runs of a product. They have perfected the art of retooling the line.
In the current situation, it appears that our beaglebone friends are
in the process of convincing the money people to make the investment
to increase
You will have to figure out your target market
One thing that looks promising is the robotics controller market.
There are many student focused contest for robotics devices. Creating
a BBB variant that specialized in this area would generate allot value

As an FYI, the first
Over the last couple of days there have been several threads about
powering the BBB up and powering it down. Please correct me if I am
wrong:
1. Currently, there is no assurance that powering headers during power
up will not damage the board.
2. Currently, there is no assurance that pulling the
A solution would be to design a cape with a small battery to provide
enough power to enable the Beagleboard to gracefully power down when
it detects that external power is gone. That is probably the quickest
solution.
A second solution would be to audit the code to ensure the the file
system is
Mike,
The project sounds interesting.
I would recommend partnering with someone like Adafruit, Sparkfun, or
Makershed. There are about two million things which you need to get correct
to successfully being a new product to market. Logistics are a nightmare.

The biggest stumbling block
My first stumbling block when learning about the BeagleBone is the
relationship between http://beagleboard.org/ and http://elinux.org/ .
From my brief understanding:
1 Beagleboard.org is the foundation behind the project, the primary
landing site for new users, and definitive point of reference

From my somewhat limited BeagleBoneBlack experience I would suggest
Robert's release based on Debian Jessie for driver programming.

The upside is that kernel and tool chain are newer. This can be useful
because there have been rapid

Hey all,

I am trying to determining the most appropriate OS for my use.
-- Angstrom --
Pros.
1. Very lean embedded OS.
2. Much of the existing documentation and tutorials are based on angstrom.
Cons.
1. Steeper learning curve
