Preamble
A list of Paul McWhorter courses
Paul McWhorter does a 52 part course on the Pi and Python. As usual, it is best to watch the videos at x2 speed.
Buster (32 bit) and Python 3.7
Then Bullseye (64 bit), camera handling changes a lot and deprecated libraries.
A Raspberry Pi 3B+ (not the 3B) can boot from an external USB drive or stick “out of the box”. However, It can not boot from an external USB SD card reader… why is that?

No, this isn’t about adventure games and mazes on a BBC Micro. I’m just again looking into getting a BBC Micro…
This USB to Ethernet adapter was required for my cluster (How to build a Raspberry Pi cluster). The Pi has drivers that recognise the adapter, however it doesn’t quite work out-of-the-box.
The Turing Pi 2 (kickstarter: Turing Pi 2 Cluster Computer) seems to be a bit of a miss.
As clumsy manual multi-boot method…
If you don’t want to use one expensive SSD for just one Pi OS, it is possible to have multiple bootable partitions, although there is no fancy GRUB like UI.
Setting up the PXE cluster using Raspberry OS, using only one SSD on the Master node (no microSD card required), using nfs, dhcp and tftp. The master node is a Pi 4 8GB, the worker nodes are Pi 400.
