It is a small board of electronics that can actually run Windows, Mac OS, Chrome OS, various Linux distributions, or the Raspberry Pi OS (based on Ubantu Linux). In this article, the focus is on the last OS, because that is easiest to install, so look elsewhere on the web for details of installing alternatives. The notes here will generally apply to any version of Linux, although the configuration editor described is only on the Pi. The Apple Mac runs its own version of Unix, so is not covered here, but hopefully this article will still be of some use by telling you what steps are needed even if the key sequences are different. | ||
