OpenSource For You

NOOBS to make your Raspberry Pi set-up easier

-

Raspberry 3i, the hackable minicomput­er that supports open source software, comes without any pre-installed operating system and the buyer needs an SD card for storage. Is this all sounding a little too geeky to you?

Well, now there is a new tool for the actual ‘noobs’ who want to know of easier ways to set up a Raspberry 3i. We said ‘noobs’ rather than newbies because the tool itself is called NOOBS, an acronym for‘New Out Of Box Software’. As the name suggests, this tool is aimed at the newbie audience.

You might not need NOOBS if you’re a techie who is a source code compiler. But in case you just want Raspberry 3i to plug in the SD card and play games, watch videos or surf the Internet, NOOBS can come to your aid.
