So I like Arch on the RPi too. The benefit of Arch is that it's <em>really simple</em> where simple means no layers of abstraction added on top of things, no configuration tools, everything is as vanilla as possible. Which makes configuring it a breeze <em>once you know what you're doing</em>. <a href="https://wiki.archlinux.org/">The Wiki</a> is great.<br /><br /> If that doesn't appeal then yeah, go with Raspian. It's based on Debian so it's super-solid and very widely used, has tonnes of packages and there's plenty of info out there.<br /><br /> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=41672.10&return_msg=41672.8" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="41672.10"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a41672_11"></a><div class="message" id="message_41672_11"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: CHYRON (DSMITHHFX)<span class="message_time">25 Jan 2016 11:02</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Drew (X3N0PH0N) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 25 Jan 2016 11:06"></span></span> <span class="message_count">11 of 101</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.11">41672.11</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=41672.8#a41672_10" target="_self">41672.10</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Stop saying Arch is simple.
