Beagleboard / ARMini compatibility

I am pleased to report that having now set up the ARMini computer that I purchased at Wakefield 2011, I have been able to briefly test the following pieces of software and found that they appear to work without problem: WebChange – the website maintenance tool for RISC OS computers.
