[Gumstix-users] New to Gumstix...

[Leshell H. <le...@gm...>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm new to gumstix but eager to learn more.  So, instead of lurking
for a while, I decided to introduce myself out right and ask a few
questions.  I am particularly interested in using gumstix to create a
handheld device, but I'd like to use a larger screen than the one
included in the package sold on the website.   So, here are some
beginning questions:

1.  What is the best resource for 'newbies' to learn about gumstix and
their implementation?
2.  Does anyone have any recommendations for larger screens that will
actually work with gumstix - particularly the sold package on the
website (just replacing the touchscreen LCD with a larger one)?
3.  Which distribution of linux works best?  *I'm thinking of Ubuntu.

I suppose this is a good starting list of questions and I hope you all
don't mind offering answers/suggestions.

Thanks in advance.
