Can't really blame them. Like me, I've heard about raspberry pi claiming to be the smallest and cheapest computer back when they first announced it. But, as with all others, it was just another news. And, weren't we all busy with our own lives?

It's only recently that I finally, took the time to check out all the videos on Raspberry pi and discovered about Kano computer. That's the first thing I always advised the parents to do too. There Are basically tons of info on youtube channel. Check them out!

Of course, you won't learn much about the Raspberry pi without buying one yourself and tinkering with it. So, I did. Since, it's using Raspbian, based on Debian. A version of linux distro. I was actually familiar with using the OS. Even checking out some of the old apps and software I used to download.

Parents like Kano computer because it seems suitable for their young children. The whole OS are also based on debian. Their package include the latest Raspberry pi 3. They had upgraded from raspberry pi 2. The latest raspberry pi 3 have bluetooth and wifi for better and easier connections.
