RUN<br />

PIXEL<br />

ON YOUR COMPUTER<br />

The PIXEL desktop is now available for Intel<br />

computers: use this month’s free DVD or burn a USB<br />

drive and get the best desktop interface on your laptop<br />

T<br />

he Raspberry Pi is by far our<br />

favourite computer. So we<br />

were delighted to discover<br />

that the Raspberry Pi Foundation<br />

was making a version of Debian with<br />

PIXEL for Intel machines.<br />

With this month’s physical version<br />

of The MagPi, you’ll find a free<br />

DVD. Load this up on your laptop or<br />

desktop and you’ll find it’s just like<br />

using a Raspberry Pi.<br />

If you don’t have a Debian<br />

with PIXEL DVD, don’t worry.<br />

The Raspberry Pi Foundation has<br />

made Debian with PIXEL available<br />

as a downloadable ISO file.<br />

You can use the ISO file to create<br />

your own Debian with PIXEL DVD,<br />

or to build yourself a bootable USB<br />

drive to run the PIXEL desktop<br />

on your computer.<br />

In this feature, we’ll show you how<br />

to boot your computer into Debian<br />

with PIXEL and what you can do with<br />

the OS on your home computer. We’ll<br />

also look at saving files and creating<br />

a USB drive that you can use to boot<br />

into PIXEL on any computer.<br />

USB DRIVE<br />

We’ll show you how to create a USB<br />

drive of Debian with PIXEL for your<br />

computer. The USB drive is faster<br />

than the DVD, and you can save<br />

your work directly to it.<br />
