Which Linux distribution?
I want to set up ROS on a Raspberry Pi 3 and I want to do it in a way that others with perhaps less experience with Linux can replicate. So I found some instructions to put ROS on Ubuntu MATE. But I ended up with a full blown desktop OS complete with X11, an Office suite and web browser. It works fine but there is an order of magnitude to much stuff on the SD card. Yes I know how to remove packages but I'd have to document this
This Pi3 will be physically mounted inside the robot and I doubt anyone will connect a monitor and keyboard and want to run rviz on the robot. But I will ssh in and build packages and do normal debugging
My question is: What is the most appropriate Linux distribution to start with if the goal is a headless embedded Pi3 based ROS/Linux system?
