| Apr 29, 2015 at 18:33 | comment | added | goldilocks | "Commercial" is a bit of a misnomer, maybe "mainstream" is a better term here. Anyway, Raspbian is Debian, just compiled for the pi's obscure architecture; there are a few extra (and a few missing) bits, and some relatively minor configuration differences (e.g. the default desktop) but otherwise they are identical. | |
