Raspberry Pi Introduction

### What is it ? The Raspberry Pi is a nano-computeur using the ARM processor (simple architecture and low consommation, used a lot in embedded computer like phones and tablets). This computer was created for learning programming, and make access to every one to a computer. You can use different free Operating System, GNU / Linux, and free softwares. You buy it naked (no case, no power, no keyboard, no screen or mouse), in that way, you can use recycling hardware. Appear in 2012
