[Bassetlug mailing] Setting up SSH and VNC on Raspberry Pi

[MJ.Wells]

Thanks Danny for the guide. Dead useful to print off and file ready for 
the next Rpi or SD card. Just needs a note added to it that at the 
moment it will only work with Debian, to save people trying it with 
OpenELEC etc. On the Website maybe also a comment explanation like you 
gave about why the other distributions available at present can't do it 
because of their 'minimilist' philosophy.

As we saw at the last meeting I have managed to work out how to make the 
Rpi boot in to our own code. I'll write this up as a page on the 
website. There was some general comment that this was of interest to 
others particularly assembler and C on the Rpi.

Can we discuss what we want to do in the next few meetings? Do we want 
to have part of the session on learning how to use the Rpi gcc toolchain 
to write either C or assembler programs?

We could use as examples programs written for either Debian/other Linux 
distribution, or as a standalone 'kernel'. Which would be preferred?

It would be good if we can work out how to cross compile ARM code on a 
laptop under Linux. Save all that moving things about with sftp.

Other issues, Rpi or not, that we would like to look at in the period, 
say, up to September?

Do we want a 'get together' day in the summer?  What could we title it, 
needs to be something like 'maker day', but not focused on making, but 
maybe sharing ideas. We could have an open session and invite other Lugs 
to it. Maybe a barbecue and hope that it is fine?

Are we going to get round to going to the Sheffield Lug one weekend? 
Maybe now would be a good time?

Great to see a new member at the last meeting. A warm welcome to Tom.
