Building a Gumsix computer. Anonymous 11/10/19(Wed)15:19 No. 437

Sup, /g/. I want to start a long term project to build myself a wireless Gumsix computer using by using the Overo Gumstix Wireless pack.
After putting the parts together I think I could use UnetBootin to put Debian running Matchbox instead of GNOME on the SD card. (Don't now how I'd do that bit, but I'll get to it later.)
What I want to know is this: Once I receive the pack, can I put the parts together, plug it in, and turn it on, and have it work? Can I just turn it on (does it have an on button?) and go right to installing software? Even if the touch screen does not work with Debian right out of the box I think since it had USB I can plug in a keyboard and mouse.
So, right, will it work out like that?
