<div dir="ltr">On DX.com I bought a heat sink for RasPi (not shipped yet) for $2.10 (<a href="http://dx.com/p/207119">http://dx.com/p/207119</a>). It's copper based, has a sticker under it, so it will be glued to the chip.<br>
I think you would be able to use it on BBB. I will buy a couple more to stick to my old BeagleBone too... For now I have two aluminium heat sinks over the Pi (cpu and chipset), not glued, just over it, and it falls off every time someone knocks over it (pretty rarely, though).<br>

</div>Apologies to William: the bad ssh server is apparently unique to me -<br>
they do usually ship with a functional ssh server. Besides, as<br>
mentioned, it's apparently quite easy to run another Linux distro on<br>
it as mentioned by others.<br>
<br>
An update on mine: it's still as functional as it was previously (ie.<br>
I still have no ssh server, but it connects and works as it did<br>
before) so, contrary to my guess, I didn't brick it or even cause it<br>
problems.<br>
<br>
That chip does run quite warm though, even when it's not under heavy<br>
load. I need to follow Len's advice and find a way to get a heat sink<br>
on it. There are no supports, anyone have any idea where I could get<br>
one or how to mount it?<br>
