Which OS do you use the most?

No, I haven't done anything to launch into X with the BBAI.  To date, I've been running headless just using Cloud9.  I never saw it before last month, but it did grow on me quickly.  I like my Windows shortcuts which the Linux nano editor does not - so being able to nerd out with what looks like a terminal screen while having my shortcuts, its a good experience for me.

I'm pretty sure the BBAI will boot up to some form of a GUI if you have the hdmi cable plugged in.  I believe I saw it on an intro video on the beagleboard section of this site.

phoenixcomm Maybe I missed the point of your question then, but my shares are not running on a BB, but my shares are split up over a Synology DS112j, a WD Mybook, and an old Intel NUC.  I would guess that if you wanted the BB to have access to a NFS share you would have to add it to your BB's fstab...

Sean NFS is much faster than SAMBA as it is a threaded model. You can download an NFS Client for windows. (never done one. but it should be the same.) 

If you pick the big Linux box for you NFS Server then all you have to do is mount clients to it.  Please see the below HowTo that I wrote. 

Howto: NFS (Network File System)

Sean_Miller Sean I download the show-pins it works like a champ. I going to try and not screw with pinmux.

btw have you any idea how to launch plain jane X and get out of the crappy cloud 9 ide which is kind of worthless. it looks like it was put together by a windows person who has little or no idea of what Linux really is.  X is very large I tried it one time and blew my 10 Gb drive. oh well.

glennvanderveer yes but bb ai will not boot with a 250GB Flash formatted at EXT4

I put mixed.  I use Windows 10 at work and home.  If I'm wanting to sit with a laptop, though, I have installed Lubuntu on a 11 year old laptop.  I must say, though, I feel Linux is still a little querky on some things.

At work, if they play their cards right, iOS will win with iPads that run Windows Virtual machines through remote desktop.  Just about everyone is getting an iPad assigned.

I enjoy using the Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone headless through my Windows 10, though.  It takes me back to the AmigaOS days - which I actually liked better because it wasn't case sensitive when navigating the terminal.

For file sharing - I don't know what I'm doing.  From Linux, I'll mount a shared Windows folder using the samba package.

On #1 I have 2 drive formatted as EXTFS and shared as NFS

On #2 I have 7 USB external drives combined into a logical volume group, and then I created an encrypted volume as 1 big disk and shared as NFS

On #3 I have 1 drive I believe is formatted as EXTFS and shared as SMB and AFS.

You may have found a bug in my Survival Guide script.  It sounds like "make" isn't seeing a file it expects.

I added a "cd" that I believe will address it.  Let me know if that still gives you trouble.

1. cd #(or wherever you want to clone the next line to) 
2. git clone https://github.com/beagleboard/BeagleBoard-DeviceTrees -b v4.14.x-ti 
3. nano BeagleBoard-DeviceTrees/src/arm/am5729-beagleboneai-custom.dts #(paste the dts file below) 
4. cd BeagleBoard-DeviceTrees
5. make src/arm/am5729-beagleboneai-custom.dtb 
6. sudo cp src/arm/am5729-beagleboneai-custom.dtb /boot/dtbs 
7. sudo nano /boot/uEnv.txt #(configure: dtb=am5729-beagleboneai-custom.dtb) 
8. sudo reboot

Glenn are you using NFS to share files??

Well, work is a Windows 10 machine, but I also have 2 NUC's running Ubuntu.

Home I have 1 Ubuntu, 1 Windows 10, 2 Raspbian's, I beaglebone Debian (I believe), 3 NAS' each running a different flavour of Linux, 3 Androids, and an OSX Mountain Lion.  Plus I have a boatload of VM's running who knows what that is too long to list.
