Amid all the excitement of the Raspberry Pi Zero announcement, a new Raspbian release and the corresponding NOOBS package have been overlooked. Here's my take on them.

Just in time for the New Year, a new Raspbian release and a new NOOBS package. Here's how they installed and work on my two Raspberry Pi systems.

But if you just want to plug an SD card into your Raspberry Pi and start using it to play games, watch videos, or surf the web right away, NOOBS can help you through the process.

NOOBS is incredibly simple to use. Just burn the image to an SD card (our setup guide can help with that if you need it), and put the SD card into your Raspberry Pi.
