# What is is good for?

- Raspberry-Packs bundle a specific setup you want to clone/roll out on multiple devices or you want to share with friends or the internet
10+
- It installs packages, runs scripts, setup services on your Raspberry Pi similar to a configured image
11+
- Its aim is to reduce the manual overhead of installing scripts by hand with automation

# Why not using an image
14+
15+
- In contrast to an image, a Raspberry-Pack install an official distribution image first and based on that the rest
16+
- Every installation step and change is comprehensible upfront, whereas an image is a blackbox where you have no clue what was installed and done. Thus it's modular and developers can copy interesting sections from other Raspberry-Packs
17+
- Images are are huge and hard to trim down, Raspberry-Packs are tiny scripts and links to downloads
18+
- Raspberry-Packs are flexible e.g. WiFi or hostname are adjustable via the wizard. Adjusting a Raspberry-Pack is done in a text editor and doesn't require an export.
19+
- At installations it does the updating and upgrading automatically, so you always start with a solid OS
