Ubuntu OMAP team is doing a really good job by adding a headless installation of 11.04 release. I had a good impression trying on BeagleBoard (revC) and the process is straightforward (read the documentation) but I needed made a slight change at u-boot bootcmd env, so I decided share:

mmc init mmc rescan 0 fatload mmc 0 0x82000000 boot.scr source 0x82000000

After install… I put a usb/ethernet dongle and got fully supported by APT syncing from ports.ubuntu.com :-)

I suggest try it.
