That’s an extremely easy tip.
I own a Raspberry Pi, but I haven’t a HDMI enabled TV, so I thought I couldn’t see any output from the system.
Stock Debian image doesn’t start ssh daemon on boot, but as you can see on the SD card, there’s a file named “boot_enable_ssh.rc”.
You should rename that file in “boot.rc”, and start everything. That’s all.
Now you must know that if you haven’t a HDMI enabled TV or monitor, you can still use Video OUT and an old CRT TV to see what’s going on. See my future tip.
When you download an image for Raspberry Pi from internet (Debian image for example), the size is quite often 2GB.
In my case I’ve always SD cards of 8GB of size. After writing the image to the SD, 6GB of space get lost.
Here’s what I did to resize my Raspberry Pi Debian system without loosing its functionality.
Plug your card reader and take a look to system messages with “dmesg”:

In my case the SD is /dev/sdc.

On my pc it took 2 minutes.
