Other than the initial writing of the OS to the SD card, is there anything Pi specific about this?

It's been a gripe of mine for quite a while that there's now this whole subset of generic linux howtos which are titled "on the Raspberry Pi" for no particular reason. In the end the exact hardware isn't really that relevant to solving the problem.




It used to be a big thing for SEO/spammers to republish their guides anew every time there was a newly released Linux distribution.

You could see this in titles like:

* How to install mysql on Dapper Drake

* How to install mysql on Edgy Eft

* etc.

I guess a similar thing here, people will search for Pi-device guides because they've learned such things exist.


Same as with tagging on "in $currentyear" at the end of everything
