How easy it is to hack circuits using the electronics breakout pins! But sadly, the latest official distro
"July 15 Raspbian Wheezy" did not have many of the delicious hackables built in. That's why Adafruit
decided to roll their own distribution.
Adafruit distro is based on "Wheezy" but comes with hardware SPI, I2C, one wire, and WiFi support for
Adafruit wifi adapters. It also has some things to make overall hacking easier such as sshd on startup
(with key generation on first boot) and Bonjour (so you can simply ssh raspberrypi.local from any
computer on the local network)
May scare newbies…
