Getting Started

“It’s a very cheap Linux PC, device in the spirit of the 1980s, a device which turns your TV into a computer, 
plug in to TV, plug a mouse and a keyboard in, give it some power and some kind of storage, 
an operating system and you’ve got a PC.“

The Raspberry Pi®  is a single-board computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation with the intention of stimulating 
the teaching of basic computer science in schools. The design is based on a Broadcom BCM2835 system on a chip (SoC), 
which includes an ARM1176JZF-S 700 MHz processor, VideoCore IV GPU, and 256 megabytes of RAM. The design does not include 
a built-in hard disk or solid-state drive, instead relying on an SD card for booting and long-term storage -

Why ArchLinux ARM ?
Arch Linux ARM is bare-bones, great for when you need all the power you can get out of an older computer, or an 
embedded system like the Raspberry Pi.  You install only what you want to install.
Arch Linux ARM follows the philosophy of K.I.S.S. : Keep It Simple Stupid.  It does it's best to keep technical 
things simple, and it is great for people who like to understand how complex things work.
