Ok, so I have downloaded and extracted newest image off the website.  The file 
is called "2gbsd-noeclipse-latest.dd"; its about 128MB.  I am running ubuntu 
(10.04 LTS) out of a VMware player virtual machine. Here is what i have 
currently in the terminal. 

:/home/mtravis# dd 
if=/home/mtravis/Desktop/2gbsd-noeclipse-latest.dd of=/dev/sdb

It has been processing the command some time now.  Walter, you say it has to 
burn the whole 2GB even though the image i downloaded is only 128MB correct? If 
this is the case, i expect it to take some time... Once the image is burned, I 
should be able to connect to the 7500 sbc using a telnet connection, and upon 
entering the command "exit" it will attempt to boot from the SD card.  From 
there, i should have access to the full debian distro (with the GCC compiler), 
correct?

Thank you guys for all your help, this is a learning experience for me so 
thanks for teaching!
