Hi Drew,

Nice 'blog post. I'm glad I found it... purely by accident, unfortunately. As I've suggested elsewhere, it would be nice if new 'blog posts showed up in the main Discussions lists, which is what I always check.

I didn't know the BBone could do virtual Ethernet over USB. Neat! I tried it immediately on my BBone and it didn't work, but then I'm running the Ångström that came with it: v2012.01-core kernel 3.2.5+. Or maybe it's my Ubuntu 11.10. I detest installing operating systems I didn't write.

OTOH, I didn't have too much trouble getting X Windows to run over real Ethernet with the client on BBone and the server on Ubuntu.

Hi Drew,

What is your end project for the Beagle?

Are there other OS made for the Beagle line or is it strictly a Linix end board?

I am curious about other uses for the board set other than Linix applications.

Just a thought,

DAB
