[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Just got a Raspberry Pi 2 B -- need suggestions for which OS to install

[KF7IJZ - Jeremy Kolonay]

I also recommend Raspbian as it is based on Debian, which is my favorite
root distribution.  Most of the other OS images are centered around media
center applications.  Raspbian is also probably the most widely adopted.
NOOBS should include Raspbian out of the gate.  Install it, then run sudo
apt-get update  and then sudo apt-get upgrade and you will be at the latest
version for all installed packages.
