Specs alone utterly destroys any embedded board.  Price too, if you add
up all the addons you'd have to buy, eg.  screen, wireless, etc.  If

Beaglebone, despite its flaky hardware, is easy to install Linux.
    - create FAT boot partition, and extract boot loader there.
    - create root partition, and extract root filesystem there.
