This is a step-by-step guide of how to set up your Raspberry Pi as a "headless" computer, that is, access it via network connections without a keyboard or display. This is done by configuring the Raspberry Pi without needing any kind of monitor or keyboard attached. I go a little further by showing how to upgrade the firmware / OS / development tools, bootup without X Windows, setup password-less login, and establish some basic security.

This article reviews the kinds of maintenance activities required by Ubuntu / Debian / Raspberry Pi Linux distributions to keep them running as they should. It covers topics like OS and applications updates, disk / filesystems integrity, and cleaning up filesystem clutter.

I found a comprehensive VT100 / xterm terminal emulator, integrated with a tunneled X server, that gives me a mobile display for the Raspberry Pi via my iPad.

In this post, I provide a python utility that can be used to configure and test Xbee radios. Its a command interpretors used to send AT Commands to the XBee with output is color coded to help distinguish user input, from XBee radio output, and from interpretors output.

In this article, I explore the serial communication options supported by the Raspberry Pi, under what situations would you use them, and how do you use them.

I want the RPi to provide status via email, SMS, web updates, and so why not speech? This post show you how to get the speech synthesis utility Festival working on the Raspberry Pi.

I want to deliver sound from my Raspberry Pi’s (RPi) Audio Output 3.5mm jack This post shows you how to get audio out working on the Raspberry Pi.

I'm presently using Dropbox as a service for quick and easy movement of files between multiple PCs I use.  I would like the same on the Raspberry Pi, particularly for moving files from my PC to the RPi.

SendEmail is a lightweight, completely command line based, SMTP email agent. I envision using this utility to email status reports/messages when generated by my Raspberry Pi.

While I have seen many posting on how to configure the Raspberry Pi with WPA, there is oddly little information about WEP configrations. Hopefully this posting will solve that problem for you.
