      So not knowing how to check I googled it and "lsb_release -a" was the magic command to tell me the answer.

      lsb_release -a

      No LSB modules are available.

      Distributor ID: Raspbian

      Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie)

      Release: 8.0

      Codename: jessie

    This looks like a very good laundry list of what to include.

    • Why this Ubuntu version and not Ubuntu Snappy Core ?

      Furthermore, for the Raspberry Pi i would rather suggest Raspbian respectively Raspbian Lite (headless version) !?
