There are a number of images posted on this site. The subdirectory names, such as
lxde-4gb , might change with time and might take some investigating to learn what they
mean. In this case, a simple Google search reveals that lxde is the Lightweight X11
Desktop Environment . The -4gb means it's a 4 GB image. The other lxde has 2 GB images,
which are needed for the pre-Rev C BeagleBone Blacks, because their onboard flash is
only 2 GB. The lxqt has images that use the next generation of the Lightweight Desktop
Environment . These images are for a newer release of Debian.
WARNING
You can try running a newer release, but things might not work exactly as described in this
text. See Recipe 5.15 for information about the Debian release system.
The images suggested here are big installations with many important applications already
included. If you want an image with almost nothing included, try console ( Figure 1-26 ).
The images in this folder are very minimal, with very few programs installed (for example,
Cloud9 and BoneScript are missing), but they have enough to boot up and run. Notice that
they are about one-tenth the size of the complete installs.
