This page contains resources used to teach an introductory course to the Raspberry Pi and the Linux Terminal.
Below is a list of items I recommend and have personally used as part of my personal projects.
(Complete)
(Minimal)
(If you already have a Raspi)
(Big bang for the buck!)
Several operating systems (OSs) are available for the Raspberry Pi. The embedded page on the right points you to the Raspberry Pi recommended OS's. I also recommend a light weight distribution (distro) know as DietPi. That site is below. DietPi is a minimal terminal based distro that allows the user to add packages as needed.
Etcher (https://etcher.io/) makes it easy to transfer a .img file to an SD Card or a USB drive. You simply need the OS as an .iso or .img file, an appropriately sized USB drive or SD Card and a few clicks of the mouse to make a bootable USB drive or SD Card. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Below is a useful Linux Commands Cheat Sheet that includes many commands not covered in this introductory session. Explore them and learn the power of the command line. Remember that the documentation for each command is only a man
or info
page away.
