I think the HDMI is more a concession than anything, since there's no real "GPU" to speak of. This is more akin to the Arduino, but with a little more creature comfort.
Err, what the heck are you talking about? The GPU is a SGX530. http://circuitco.com/support/index.php?title=BeagleBoneBlack
Got mine couple of days back and here are a few tips: - The default OS version had some issues that I was not able to ssh into the board. Once I downloaded and loaded the latest version available on the site, I was able to ssh as root. - I was not able to connect serially (from my mac). Turns out that the FTDI driver they provide is 32 bit but (my) Mac needs a 64 bit. So you have to install the 32 bit, save the Info.…
After reading this post, I thought I would be clever and just install the proper drivers, turns out, you do have to follow krishna2's instructions exactly.
Hopefully this saves others the slight headache, I went through:
- Install the HoRNDIS-rel4.pkg network drivers included on the board.
- Install the FTDI_Ser.dmg serial drivers included on the board. When I installed them, an error message popped up stating something about the OS being unable to use the driver.
- Download the 64-bit drivers here: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm . As of this posting, this is the latest version: http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP/MacOSX/FTDIUSBSerialDriv...
- Before installing the latest serial drivers: cp /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist /tmp
- Install the new drivers.
- cp /tmp/Info.plist /System/Library/Extensions/FTDIUSBSerialDriver.kext/Contents/Info.plist
- Enjoy!
Here's the error message, for SEO juice:

Jump networks are the company, but it's in one of the Telehouse buildings in London http://www.jump.net.uk/
Ooh, so can you just mail them one of these and they'll hook it up, and charge you ?? per month?
They gave me an IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, I preconfigured it, and posted them the board in a cheap case, plus the power supply with plug.
They invoice me annually for the power used including an amount of bandwidth which I never come near.
This is the PSU I use:
