My journey with raspberry pi

I'm hooked on to raspberry pi recently. I'm not an expert but I'll post my experiments, experiences and learning here.

About a month ago, I bought raspberry pi 2. In this time, I tried Raspbian, OpenELEC, set up a media center run by OSMC. My experience so far has been satisfactory. In future I want to do much more.

In the next post, we'll see how to install NOOBS, there's enough information on raspberry.org already, but my aim is to maintain all my learning in this space.
