From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Ubuntu is my daily driver but I'm thinking of setting this up on my never used Raspberry PI -- anyone using it? How tough do you think it will be as a first project? (www.maketecheasier.com)

chmod +x ./install.sh 
./install.sh

Hmm usually not a secure practice to do this

What's the alternative to doing this? Is it safer to read the script first and then execute it as

sh ./install.sh?

Read the official docs to build from source.
