They are pretty spiffy boards, but running a full blown OS on them isn't a good idea. Linux, DOS or one of the Embedded Windows is fine, performance for full XP isn't fast.

Good luck!
yes, I have the cable to connect the board to my computer for terminal IO, The plan was to create a live usb on either an XUbuntu or windows machine with the Debian (or Ubuntu) i386 image on it. then the instructions I have get fuzzy. I either boot my computer with the live usb, configure the SSH for terminal access, and boot the roboard with it and install the kernel package on the roboard, or I do the same thing but install the kernel before I boot the roboard with it, or I just make the live USB, boot the Roboard and some how do every thing from there with the remote terminal interface. My main issue is the person on my team who is attempting to help me thinks that I know more than I do.
