It’s nice to have it, but you don’t NEED it. The thing is that having a word processor on the RasPi and being able to save your documents to a stick means you don’t need the Internet to write. Obviously, this is a solution that relies on you having access to some kind of monitor that you don’t have to tote around with you. You can even change the fonts, although being freeware, the fonts are all open source like the ones you get on Google Docs.
You can write, cut, copy, paste and print. If you’ve ever used a word processor before, the interface should be self-explanatory. That’s the hardware and OS you will need, but what about the actual writing software? If wherever you want to write is indoors, then these two things will be easy to find.
You will need access to a TV or monitor for a display and a power adapter, too, obviously. Get fresh a SD card (any size will do, as you will be saving files elsewhere rather than on the system drive), and using your favourite SD burner software, take the image you will find here and burn it to the drive.Īlso in your bag you will need an HDMI cable. Then you need to add Raspbian OS to the Pi. Make the keyboard as small as you can, but try to have full-sized keys so you can type. You will want to keep one socket free for a USB drive to have something to save your word processing files to. A mini keyboard and mouse which runs on a single dongle would be best, especially if you have an older Pi with only two USB sockets. You’ll need a keyboard and a mouse wireless would be best.
