Living Without RPi
Even if you do not have any Raspberry Pi hardware there are a number things you can do
to learn about linux, programming or even controlling hardware.
Using Linux
You can install a version of Linux on most computers, and many you will be able to "try
out" Linux by using a "Live CD" - this will start your computer up running from a CD or
DVD and run Linux (without installing anything to the computer itself).
RacyPy - This is a simple LiveCD of Puppy Linux which includes some basic
programming languages and a light-weight graphical user interface (GUI).
You can get it from here:
