MINIBIAN image for Raspberry Pi
MINIBIAN is a MINImal RaspBIAN-based Linux image for Raspberry Pi
The main focus is to have a small, updated and stable distribution that is fully compatible with official Raspbian image, without GUI and unneeded tools. So this image is perfect for embedded projects, or wherever you need to use all RPi resources for your specific tasks. The main advantage is that MINIBIAN has a very small footprint, boots in some seconds and uses just few of precious RPi RAM. Unlike other similar projects, MINIBIAN has not been obtained purging unneeded packages from original image, neither recompiling the source code: it’s just a customized Raspbian installation obtained from the same repository used for official RPi image. So kernel and binary files are exactely the same you will find on standard image, with the difference that MINIBIAN fit on 1GB SD Card, is fastest, and updated more often. -

Pibox
Images of pre-configured Raspberry Pi operating systems.
Pre-configured images of my Raspberry Pi operating systems, used for backup essentially, if they help anyone else, good ! These files just need flashing to the appropiately sized SD card and then booting in your Pi, no install needed. You will need to use the dd command if the SD card is the same size as the image, if larger you can flash the SD card with "Startup Disk Creator" or similar. You should be able to login with root/root and in most Raspbian releases pi/raspberry for username/password and then change the passwords for security as well as creating any new users if you plan on using them. Notes specific to each OS will be listed in the relevant README files. -
