ad2pi appliance should ship with Raspian Lite

Postby ducksauz » Mon Apr 11, 2016 6:52 pm

I got my ad2pi kit last week and got it installed this past Saturday. One thing that really surprised me was the full Raspian distro on the SD card. IMO, it would really be better to base that image on the Raspian Lite distro, which skips the desktop GUI and other non-essential applications. Since the ad2pi appliance is meant to be an appliance, it seems a waste to use up 2+ gig of SD card for things that are never going to be used.

All future images will be based off Jessie Lite - we are prepping a new one since we've now gotten a pi3 in our hands.

Yeah, and switching to it will be easy - just export your current settings, swap image, import settings.
