Raspbian Read-Only download

Raspbian Read-Only, as its name indicates, is a read-only distribution of Raspbian. But it has also been minimized to have a small footprint, low resource utilization and fast boot times.

You can use Raspbian Read-Only as the base for your Raspberry Pi projects, since there’s no unnecessary packages installed. This makes it fast, reliable and a perfect framework for your projects.

The default password for root is "raspbian". Raspbian Read-Only will also automatically expand to make use of your microSD, so no manual steps for you to perform. On first boot Raspbian Read-Only will reboot twice, to perform the microSD expansion.

This project is currently a work-in-progress, so report any issues and we’ll do our best to remediate them.

Features

Read-Only - no more operating system corruptions
Small footprint - can fit on 1GB microSD
Auto-Expand to utilize whole microSD
Extremely fast boot times
Very low resource utilization
