Arch<br />

Arch Linux ARM (http://archlinuxarm.<strong>org</strong>) is based on Arch Linux<br />

(http://www.archlinux.<strong>org</strong>/) , which aims for simplicity and full control to the end user. It<br />

provides a lightweight base structure that allows you to shape the system to your needs.<br />

For this reason, the Arch Linux ARM image for the Raspberry Pi does not come with a<br />

graphical user interface, though you can easily install one yourself. Please note that the<br />

Arch distribution may not be suitable for beginners.<br />

Arch Linux ARM is on a rolling-release cycle that can be updated daily through small<br />

packages instead of huge updates every few months.<br />

Raspbian<br />

Raspberry Pi + Debian = Raspbian (http://www.raspbian.<strong>org</strong>) . A project to create a hard<br />

float port of Debian Wheezy (7.x) armhf for the Raspberry Pi. The intent of Raspbian is<br />

to bring to the Raspberry Pi user 10,000s of pre-built Debian packages specifically tuned<br />

for optimal performance on the Raspberry Pi hardware. The project is still in it's early<br />

phases, but the major push to rebuild nearly all Debian packages for the Raspberry Pi is<br />

expected to be completed by early June, 2012 (only several hundred packages remain as<br />

of June 1st). After that, efforts will focus on making Raspbian the easiest to use, most<br />

stable and best performing Linux distribution available for the Raspberry Pi.<br />

Moebius<br />

A very compact ARM HF debian based distribution, it fits in a 1Gb <strong>SD</strong> card, has<br />

autoresizing features to better adapt to your <strong>SD</strong> card size and uses Raspbian huge<br />

repositories for installing everything you need. A wise configuration and a small memory<br />

footprint are ideal for an headless machine or for interacting with real word I/O devices,<br />

Raspbian Server Edition<br />

It's a stripped version of Raspibian with some other packages<br />
