Errata

Spotted an error in The MagPi? Let us know in The Raspberry Pi forums.

P28. The statement: “In late 2016, the Foundation launched a build of Raspbian, including the full desktop environment for x86 processors.” is incorrect. Debian with Raspberry Pi Desktop is built on top of Debian and is not related to Raspbian.
