Raspbian Images

A Raspbian image is a file that you can download onto an SD card which in turn can be used to boot your Raspberry Pi and Via APC into the Raspbian operating system. Using a Raspbian image is the easiest way for a new user to get started with Raspbian.

Raspberry Pi foundation Raspbian Images

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has produced and released their own recommended image of Raspbian. Because this image and subsequent updates will be used by 100,000's of Raspberry Pi users, it should be considered the best supported. However it should be remembered that this image is created by the raspberry Pi foundation not the Raspbian project and as such we don't control what is in it. This image can be downloaded directly from the Raspberry Pi Website Downloads Page.
