I guess I am little confuse and thats why I am asking so many questions. 1) The connex board runs a linux environment? 2) So if log into the gumstix through a terminal, it will be just like been in an linux environment. For example I can mkdir superCesar and then cd superCesar, just like been linux. 3) Where can I find more info regarding how to use the gumstix with UBUNTU. Thanks again.
