Or was that my > imagination, out to play without a chaperone? The clue is in the name: if it's not Debian it's not called Debian. Raspbian was initially created because Debian's armhf port did not work on the Raspberry Pi model B. It was basically just recompiling official Debian packages to work on the Raspberry Pi. Various parties started creating images based on Raspbian, including the Raspberry Pi foundation. What *other* changes they did to those images one can only guess. This is the same with all other images provided by various projects and/or manufacturers and/or community members. I've seen customizations starting from changing the default bash prompt up to proprietary kernels (with serious security bugs) and libraries, or custom scripts to resize your partitions and configure your network. It was a very happy moment for me when I could use pure Debian on my Pine A64 ;) Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
