The Raspberry Pi is not suited to running Windows due to its hardware, but there are plenty of Linux Distributions which fit nicely. In addition to this, most Distributions of Linux are free, however Windows can cost many times the price of the Raspberry Pi itself. Chances are you already have Linux running in your home without you even knowing it, since it is commonly used in modern TVs, Freeview and cable boxes to run things and ensure your recording of Inbetweeners or Prison Break gets done! For more information about Linux see Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux) Also see FAQ And Running XXX on the RPi Basic Debian RPi Setup When you first turn on your Raspberry Pi with it's fresh Debian image on the SD card, you will likely want to tweak the system settings. Default login and password See the Username:Password column of distributions table to access your Pi. Locale settings By configuring the locale settings, you can change the language and country settings (e.g. to get correct sorting behaviour) for much of the software available for the RPi. The default RPi locale is English/Great Britain ("en_GB"). You can alter this with sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales You will get a very long list of possible locales. You can enable/disable a locale by pressing the spacebar (not Enter), and scroll through the list using the arrow keys or PgUp/PgDn. Selecting "All locales" will generate all possible locales, taking a very long time and using a great deal of space. Select only those you wish to use. It is highly recommended to stick to the UTF-8 locales, and to leave the en_GB.UTF-8 locale enabled, in addition to any other locales you enable.
If you're unsure of which locale to pick, look up a two-letter language code and a twoletter country code on Wikipedia, and see if you can find a matching locale. When you're done picking locale(s), press Enter. You will be prompted to select a default locale as well. Keyboard layout If different letters appear on-screen from that which you typed, you need to reconfigure you keyboard settings. In Debian, from a command line type: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration Follow the prompts. Or: From the command line type: sudo nano /etc/default/keyboard Then find where it says XKBLAYOUT="gb" and change the gb to the two-letter code for your country.

You may need to restart for the changes to take effect. If you get a very long delay during the keyboard mapping at startup, type the following once on the command line after you have logged in: sudo setupcon If the selected keyboard layout is not applied in the console (that is, when not running under X), try: sudo apt-get install console-data
