Hi James,

You mention that:

" BTW, the compilation was done on a Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit VM machine as I'm
getting other nonsense errors on Ubuntu 11.XX 32 & 64 bits. "

I am a novice in both Gumstix products and its OS. I just bought the Tobi
Expansion board and the Overo Water. I am currently running Windows Vista
on my machine and would like to install the appropriate Gumstix's OS. From
you guys who are experienced the most, could you please provide guidance on
the proper/appropriate choice of Gumstix's OS?

Thank you,
Gutembert.
