The partitions on my pendrive with Raspbian had crashed. I had installed Raspbian Debian Wheezy and now I have to reinstall the whole operative system, I see that whezzy is not in offical downloads page.
Are Jessie and Jessie Lite better than Whezzy for the first verision of RPi? I don't use RPi under X
Thank you
Jessie has "replaced" Wheezy for quite some time now. The full version, however, may contain additional software packages** that you may not need (especially, assuming I'm interpreting "I don't use RPi under X" correctly, if you're running "headless") and perhaps you should try Jessie Lite. All newer versions of Raspbian are "backwards-compatible" with older Pi's but older versions, depending upon "how old" may not be fully/easily upgraded to work on newer Pi's (different SoC, memory etc.)
Trev.
**You don't specify your SD card/pendrive sizes but, IIRC, an 8Gb card is the minimum size for Jessie "Full" (cf. 4Gb for Wheezy)
Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
