[Wylug-discuss] Raspberry Pi

[G Bowen]

I set up ssh, VNC server on the PI and VNC client on my regular LInux box.
I have the PI attached through a crossover cable and can now use it through
the Linux box without needing to attach another keyboard, mouse and
monitor.  Apart from testing the Python IDE that is it.  My other PI is
still in its wrapper.
