For me, the biggest thing with these small linux boards is the toolchain and major distro support. I prefer making my own custom images for "production" projects.
With Raspberry Pis, you can debootstrap with raspbian, but mainline debian still requires some work [1][2] to make it function 100%.
Does anyone have any information about building custom images for the Beaglebone line of boards? Is it easier or better supported? Are there any boards out there HNers prefer for their toolchain?
