Hi all

Scanning through eBay last week, I came across a Gumstix/Robostix combo. I scooped it up via BuyItNow. I also have a Tweener board comming from Gumstix.com.

Pawing through the Gumstix wiki made me think that I might be in over my head with this thing. Does anybody know of any good Linux tutorial and or programming books out there? If its targeted for the Gumstix so much the better.

I'll nail this thing eventually I just want to make the learning process as quick and painless as possible.

I've got "Linux Programming for Dummies" comming from Amazon also.
I LOVE BUYING STUFF ONLINE!

Thanks for any help,
Dart

the first challenge will be to compile programs for it and load them on the gumstix/robostix. That takes everyone some time, but you should be able to do it. Then find some example programs and build/run them. You'll be half the way there. Getting your hands dirty is the first step.
