Pretty much any old SD card would do. I have this one:

By far the most popular OS for Rasperry Pi is Raspbian (a Debian derivative). There is a lot more third party software available for this. But there is also Pidora (a Fedora variant) which I have successfully installed and tested.

I currently have an older Pi model B in service as my Bacula storage server, with an external 4TB USB drive for online backups, plus a USB enclosure that allows swapping drives to use for archival backups. Works great. Pi's have lots of uses.

Well I can see that it has to be the small micro SD type care if it's going to fit the socket and case that came with it.

But what I am really asking I guess is how do I connect the SD card to a desktop computer to install Pidora or whatever? The only thing I see that accepts the SD card is the Raspberry board.
