Did you test RPi.GPIO on other operating systems?

Yes it would. It's the same concept for adding the hass user to the video group to get the pi camera working.

So, this will lead to at least three pages which more or less the same information. How about we collect those details on one page (maybe rpi_troubleshooting) and link to that?

@jettw A new installation guide #901 for the raspberry pi has been written and will be released with the next release. It contains hardware specific installation instructions.

Does this cover all the information you feel was lacking?
