Do you still remember the Raspberry Pi? A small computer for USD $ 35 will release its own operating system that carries the name Raspbian OS.
The presence of mini computers with low price seems to be a trend, as seen from a variety of mini computer that comes after Raspberry Pi released as Intel NUC, ODROID-X, and FXI Catton Candy.
Raspberry Pi is a pioneer as well as presenting minicomputer with cheap prices. Raspberry Pi itself comes with a mission of education and learning, and computer programming.
At the beginning of its presence, orders for these tiny computers are so overcrowded, but now the production capacity has been increased to 4,000 units per day.
As quoted from TGDaily today (17.07.2012), Raspberry Pi itself has decent specs, powered by the single-core ARM11 700MHz, SD card slot, HDMI port, USB port and an Ethernet port.
Although Raspberry Pi mini computer can run Linux or Android operating system, but now comes an operating system designed specifically for this mini computer, Raspbian OS.
The Raspbian OS creator says that the original idea of making Raspbian operating system intended to bring the operating system which is the fastest and most optimal for Raspberry Pi.
Given the hardware specification that carried Raspberry Pi mini computers is limited, so the only Linux distro or a particular version of Android that can be run. Raspbian OS will now present optimal performance for the Raspberry Pi.
Raspbian OS itself is an operating system based on Debian distribution of Linux. Are you curious? Here is a video featuring Raspberry Pi which has been overclocked and running Raspbian OS.
