Thanks for the read. Some things that I am considering for next year (with the pandaboard):
1. Use Arch linux instead of Ubuntu. It is officially supported for omap chips. Also, you don't need to install any X server, so you get fast boot times (but only command line).

Obviosly programming in the command line isn't very fun, so...
2.install cloud9 ide. You can program over the network, so there is no need connect to a pandaboard.

well, anyway... just my 2 cents.
