Raspberry Pi - the software side
So you bought a Raspberry Pi and now you think "Which OS shall I use?"
As my vendor did not supply it with a NOOB (New Out-Of-Box) Software SD card, I am offered the challenge of making a bootable SD card myself.
As the card in question holds 16GB on a chip no larger than a -small- SIM card I must be able to load it with a variety of OS-es -the Raspberry will even accept a 32GB card if I am too enthusiastic about this..
What are the possibilities? NOOB would supply you with these:
Now I personally don't care a rat's ass for the Media Centre possibilities of the Pi, and my -well educated- guess is that Risc OS might not have a BOINC Client yet.
Is there more to the Pi? Yes there is:
On my Raspberry Pi B+ I installed plain standard Raspbian based upon Debian Wheezy, on my Raspberry Pi2 I was a bit bolder and intalled Raspbian based upon Debian Jessie -that is I upgraded the Wheezy to Jessie, which took half a day. Got a far more recent Boinc Manager in the process (7.4.23 vs 7.0.27).
to be continued and updated....
