What Linux Distribution On Pandora?

I said Gentoo, but actually for my purposes something like BackTrack 2 or BackTrack 3 would be much more useful.

agreed.. That would be one cool little "security auditing" device.

Good luck getting all the tools to work on ARM though... I'll try once I have a unit, as I now have a decent ARM build environment.

Debian, Ubuntu, Windows Embedded (mentioning for the sake of completeness) and of course Angstrom are all registered BeagleBoard projects, but there's also a good post here mentioning Fedora, Gentoo, ARMedslack and Mamona


Mamona is supposed to have an OMAP3530 optimized version.

I just want something that uses the Pandora's resources as efficiently as possible (if there is eyecandy involved, I want it to be very easy to turn off) and that allows standard Linux apps to be installed after a "simple" recompile (i.e. no Maemo or Hildon cr*p).

This is a computer, not a fashion statement. Please treat it as such.

I could hardly agree more.
