=== Software ===
==== Linux ====
* [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads Raspberry Pi Foundation downloads page] has instructions on flashing the SD card
* [http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads Raspbian "Wheezy"]: recommended for general purpose
* [http://www.raspbmc.com/ Raspbmc]: recommended for media center usage
* [http://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-raspberry-pi-educational-linux-distro/occidentalis-v0-dot-1 Adafruit Occidentalis]: based on Raspbian "Wheezy" with improved hardware interfacing and wi-fi support
* [http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi/blog/2012/09/20/upgrade-to-turbo-mode-without-reflashing Upgrade Raspbian for overclocking without reflashing]
==== Applications ====
* Arduino IDE runs and uploads ok USB-connected Arduino with Raspbian "Wheezy"; just install via "apt-get install arduino".
* [https://projects.drogon.net/raspberry-pi/wiringpi/ WiringPi] is a Python library which aims to make electronics interfacing as high-level as Arduino
* [http://elinux.org/RPi_Low-level_peripherals GPIO examples] in many languages
* [http://www.memetic.org/quake-3-with-sound-for-the-raspberry-pi/ Quake] for the current Raspbian "Wheezy" image
* "hello world" programs in /opt/vc/src especially the 1080p HD playback demo: /opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_video/
** More details in recorded [http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-44459/l/video-programming-the-raspberry-pi-with-raspberry-pi-co-founder-eben-upton webinar by Eben Upton]
=== Support ===
* [http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/ RaspberryPi.org Forum] is a good resource
* [http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi Raspberry Pi group on element14 Community] is quite active too and another place to ask questions
* [http://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting The eLinux wiki troubleshooting guide]
* [http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals Listing of verified equipment] ''add your own once tested!''
* [http://www.element14.com/community/docs/DOC-44703/l/raspberry-pi-wifi-adapter-testing WiFi adapter testing] done by Drew
=== Tutorials ===
* [http://learn.adafruit.com/category/raspberry-pi Adafruit Learning System]: excellent tutorials for the Pi by Adafruit
* [http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi/blog/authors/fustini element14 Raspberry Pi blog] where Drew posts his tutorials
** [http://www.element14.com/community/groups/raspberry-pi/blog/tags/i2c I2C interfacing]: details of temperature sensor and real-time clock that Drew demo'd
* [http://www.doctormonk.com/2012/08/led-clock-using-raspberry-pi.html LED Clock]: details of the LED 7-segment module clock that Drew demo'd
** [http://learn.adafruit.com/matrix-7-segment-led-backpack-with-the-raspberry-pi/ Adafruit has now made their own tutorial]
