(Phys.org) -- The no-nonsense, bareboned, elemental $35 computer called Raspberry Pi is making headlines again with its Wednesday announcement of its new Raspbian operating system, described as an OS specifically optimized for the Pi computers hardware specs. That means the Raspberry Pi now has a recommended operating system for making the device work. Raspbian meets the teams goal of delivering a faster running OS for the little computer, and it is of course no accident that Raspbian evokes the word Debian, the Linux OS flavor, as it is a custom Debian build that brings faster performance to the device.
