Hi Carlos,
I fear you can't put musix on any ARM board. Pay attention to the arch
when you download an iso.
I can't find any musix ARM version in the musix mirrors.


Of course you can start from a debian (or other supported distro) and
then add the programs that you want.
If a packet is absent in arm repo, you can of course compile yourself.

So, consider all that said when you plan to buy a board and download
software for it.

Now I have a beaglebone black on my desk. I haven't found spare time to
test it, but next days I hope to try the debian  for BBB.

Here some references:
http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBone+Black
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Debian_On_BeagleBone_Black

I have no idea about debian repo for arm, I don't know if all packages
that I found in my amd64 repo are present in arm repository.
Or I could be for the Ubuntu way (I dislike a bit, but here the UBUNTU
ARM wiki page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM)

I will report you when I completed some test, if you want.

Cheers!
Ivan
