pi Workhorse – part 1

The raspberry pi is such a good piece of hardware that you can learn from. In this series I will chronicle my development of a raspberry pi workhorse server.

The first step is to purchase a raspberry pi along with the SD card and install raspbian OS on the card. You can download it from here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/ as of this writing it is currently RASPBIAN STRETCH WITH DESKTOP.

The first thing we need to do is update raspberry pi so open a terminal window and run the following command:

sudo apt-get update

The next thing we need to do is make sure the packages installed are upgraded, by running the following command:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

After that is complete we can start tinkering with our system.
