Raspberry Pi.
My experiments with Raspberry Pi have included a lot of different projects and here i will document them and explain them.
Running headless, SSH and avahi:
I have always preferred to run the Pi headless as it makes it more convenient for me to access everything from my Macbook Air and not having to manage a cluster of keyboard and screen in my room.
The RPi connects directly to my router via the LAN port. Of course if you have a basic SSH setup you would realise remembering the Pi's local IP every time you want to log on can be a pain especially if your local router resets the addresses every time it resets(which is far too often due to power cuts ) ,hence the first service i setup on it was the avahi daemon. Of course this was my first time working with command line Linux so i came across a lot of new concepts including apt-get and Git. Reading about them and the various RPi tutorials on the Internet got me setting avahi daemon.
Of course after setting up avahi accessing the pi becomes a a breeze. In-fact you can connect it to the internet and power and leave it on the corner of your table and forget about it.
