| - | Although it allows anyone to get their RasPi up and running in no time and without a hassle, one must not forget that it's also a tool that was developed in a defined philosophy. As stated by [[https://minibianpi.wordpress.com/2013/07/04/minibian-minimal-raspbian-image-for-raspberry-pi/|MINIBIAN's creator Luca Soltoggio]], //**the [Raspberry Pi] project was born primarily to provide a low cost computer in education and in the countries in the developing world**//. This is perfectly fine, and following this logic it's perfectly understandable that since the Jessie version of Raspbian, it boots straight into the desktop GUI (version 3 of GTK+ / LXDE), see [[https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspbian-jessie-is-here/|this raspberry.org article]] which clearly states the //philosophy// that lies behind the Raspbian releases. | + | Although it allows anyone to get their RasPi up and running in no time and without a hassle, one must not forget that it's also a tool that was developed in a defined philosophy.

| What the Pi's project founders probably didn't imagine is the fact that their creation would also become **a perfect tool for many makers across the world**, who would be able to use it as a powerful, flexible and low cost **embedded system**. | What the Pi's project founders probably didn't imagine is the fact that their creation would also become **a perfect tool for many makers across the world**, who would be able to use it as a powerful, flexible and low cost **embedded system**. | ||
