Distro for using the board

What kind of distro is the board capable of handling?
Could I be running Debian or a Debian-child as for example Xubuntu/
Fluxbuntu?

As far as I know the only distribution that has optimizations for
armv7a and NEON by defaults is angstrom:
http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/beagleboard-demo-image-available.

You could probably get gentoo-prefix to build you a system, but that
is of course more work :slight_smile:
