      I see I should download 1 version for Raspberry pi 1 / 0 and one for the 2/3 but I used the one for raspberry pi Zero on the Raspberry pi 3 and works... what's the point of having two distros?

      thank you

        The Pi 1/0 utilize armv6 processors and the 2/3 use armv7. The images are optimized to accommodate the difference.
