Configuring a Static IP for a Raspberry Pi running Raspbian
The recommend OS for the Raspberry Pi devices is typically Raspbian.
By default a Raspbian install starts with the nework configured via DHCP. Raspbian is based on Debian, and does things a little differently than their cousins Fedora/RedHat. Instead of configuring resolv.conf directly, it needs to be included with the interfaces configuration file.
