  A couple of people have been having issues flashing the card, something i consider totally normal, even now I can suffer that process myself.

  So here are 3 resources that can help:

  1. https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/windows.md
  2. https://elinux.org/RPi_Easy_SD_Card_Setup
  3. https://elinux.org/R-Pi_Troubleshooting

  Feel free to post any comments or questions in the discussion part of this project.

• Class # 1 : Raspberry Pi Basic Setup

• Class #2 : Linux Basics

  In this class, we looked into various ways to connect to the Raspberry Pi (SSH and VNC), some basic, medium, and advanced commands for the Linux command line. Also, we touched on a practical example of "everything is a file", saw the Filesystem Hierarchy of Linux and practiced with permissions, and a bonus bash script example.
