Sistemas Operativos (The MagPi 12)

En el Post anterior hago referencia al número 12 de la revista The MagPi y los artículos mas interesantes. Uno de ellos, Raspberry Pi Operating Systems, me ha parecido tan útil para proyectos educativos, que pongo aquí un resumen del mismo enumerando los sistemas operativos que soporta la RasPi a fecha de hoy. Consultad la revista para mas información:

General


Raspbian: A free operating system based on Debian, optimized for the Raspberry Pi hardware.
Website: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

Raspbian Server Edition: A stripped version of Raspbian; fewer packages installed.
Website: http://sirlagz.net/?p=662

Raspbian Minimal: Based on the stripped-down Raspbian image, which simply runs a Pi with sshd and a lean set of installed packages so you can start small and install the bits you need.
Website: http://www.pi-point.co.uk/raspbianminimal/

Soft-float Debian “squeeze” / “wheezy”: This image is identical to the Raspbian “wheezy” image,
but uses the slower soft-float ABI. It is only intended for use with software such as the Oracle JVM which does not yet support the hard-float ABI used by Raspbian.
Website: http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

Debian 6: The Debian distro for Raspberry Pi is the Cambridge reference filesystem, which is a fully functional Debian Squeeze installation containing LXDE (desktop), Midori (browser) and development tools.
Website: http://www.debian.org/ports/arm/


Arch Linux ARM: Based on Arch Linux, which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs.
Website: http://archlinuxarm.org/

Fedora Remix (4GB SD needed): A Linux software distribution containing software packages from the Fedora Project which have been specifically written for or modified for the Raspberry Pi, and proprietary software provided by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for device access.
Website: http://scotland.proximity.on.ca/raspberrypi/


Occidentalis (4GB SD needed): The distro is based on "wheezy" but comes with hardware SPI, I2C and one wire support pre-installed. It also has some things to make overall hacking easier such as sshd on startup and Bonjour.
Website: http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruitraspberry-pi-educational-linux-distro/


FreeBSD (4GB SD needed): Derived from BSD, the version of UNIX® developed at the University of California, Berkeley.
