# Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is a small and affordable computer that you can use to learn programming.  The Raspberry Pi is an exciting platform because of its low cost, modularity with components and the ability to run a Ubuntu based Linux distribution.  The original plan was for the computer to just run Python, hence the name Pi.
