NOOBS (New Out of Box Software) is software makes setting up your Pi board nice and easy. It is ideal for people who may be newer to Raspberry Pi, or even if you just prefer things a bit more straight-forward.
NOOBS is pre-installed onto an SD card which can be purchased separately. It enables you to get up and running without having to connect to a network or download imaging software. NOOBS enables you install one of a handful of operating systems, for example Raspbian or RaspbBMC. So the choice is yours:
