RaspEX developer Arne Exton released today a new version of his Debian-based distribution for the tiny Raspberry Pi single-board computers with all the latest GNU/Linux technologies.

Based on Debian GNU/Linux and Raspberry Pi's Raspbian operating systems, RaspEX Kodi Build 190321 is now available with the latest Kodi 18.1 "Leia" media center software featuring add-ons for watching Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Plex, as well as the lightweight LXDE desktop environment with VLC media player and NetworkManager.

RaspEX Kodi Build 190321 is also powered by the latest and greatest Linux 5.0 kernel series, which apparently works very well with the recently launched Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ single-board computer. However, while Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+ is recommended for RaspEX, you can also install it on a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B or the older Raspberry Pi 2 Model B.

RaspEX is now free

The even better news is that RaspEX is now free of charge as Arne Exton decided to make it free for all Raspberry Pi users to transform their tiny computers into fast and responsive media boxes. Previous versions of RaspEX were priced at $9 USD, which made some people think twice before buying the operating system.

"For version 190124 I charged $9. This new version (190321) can be downloaded for free," said Arne Exton. "People should not refrain from downloading RaspEX Kodi because of the money issue. I want all Linux and Raspberry Pi enthusiasts to enjoy the system. It runs very well on a Raspberry Pi, i.e. fast and responsive."

Therefore, you can download RaspEX Kodi Build 190321 right now for free if you want to take it for a test drive on your tiny Raspberry Pi computer. It's a very good choice for those who want to make their own media boxes for watching Netflix, Prime Video, YouTube, and similar video streaming services.
