Plug in the network lead to the Raspberry Pi, and connect the other end of the lead to your router.
Plug in the Micro USB power lead to the Raspberry Pi, the other side to the power supply. Plug in the power supply.
The Raspberry Pi will automatically get an IP address from the DHCP server ( Arch Linux has this preset)
Also, Arch Linux has sshd already active (sshd=ssh daemon, a software package allowing you to connect to a [ Linux] server console/command prompt).

…Raspberry Pi was quite inspiring. And did I mention that everyone at the conference received a Raspberry Pi?!? Take a look at this recording of Eben's talk:
We also got a peek into the future with Guido van Rossum's PyCon keynote on Async I/O for Python 3 (this is where everyone cheers!) Lots of juicy details in Guido's slides on Dropbox .
Diversity made PyCon all the more awesome. It was great meeting and catching up with all of our friends from various …

…Following Roel's post, Percona Server on the Raspberry Pi: Your own MySQL Database Server , I thought what other crazy gadget can I run Percona Server on? And having an Asus Nexus 7 Android tablet I decided to give it a try.
Anything below contains a risk that you break your tablet if you do not know what you are doing, so be advised.
First, we need rooted tablet, most likely with custom ROM. I personally use SmoothROM which already comes with …

…moderator Dessy revealed that our at least a third owned Arduino, Raspberry Pi or other hardware that they wished they were doing more with. And about half raised their hands when asked if they were thinking of buying a kit but needed a push to get started. That push came in the shape of our four incredible panelist. Pearl Chen ( Karma Laboratory), Mike Woodsworth ( Upverter), Rob Platek ( Jobdeals) and Shaun Rossi ( Fidalia Networks).
…Rogers customer service over bandwidth quality . So you bought an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi and sat down to build. Two days later, you realized you'd forgotten everything you ever knew about circuits, put your new hardware aside *just for a moment* and then began to feel guilty as you watched it collect dust.
The story above may be a dramatization... but it could have been you. Come out to # nerdlearn on Thursday, January 25th, bring your friends and join us to find out all …
2. Raspberry Pi - The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and keyboard, and can be programmed to do any number of things that your PC can do, such as word-processing and spreadsheets. It's being used to help young people learn to program, but it's also just a really fun toy for developers in general.
3. Eye-Fi - The Eye-Fi is an SD card with built-in Wi-Fi, and it's compatible with most cameras. Here's how it works: …

…. This charity was founded in 2009 to promote the study of computer science in schools, but the Raspberry Pi has been hugely popular with makers, hackers, and tinkerers.
A more casual developer who loves Apple's hardware may scoff at this, but it would be a mistake to underestimate how popular the Pi and Arduino will be within the next few years. As programmers we're hungry for things to make: the need to create drives us to learn programming languages in the first place. …

Another trend is crowdsourcing and maker culture. There's a huge amount of interest in the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, 3D printers, and the weird and wonderful products appearing on Kickstarter and Etsy. More people are becoming interested in solving their own problems -- I expect a homemade laptop/tablet movement to kick off if it hasn't already. Put a Kindle and a Raspberry Pi together and you've got a portable machine with incredible battery life. Or, just …

RVM 1.16 is now available. This is a big release that includes new features as well as the stabilization of many existing ones.
The most exciting new addition is binary ruby installs. This is a set of rubies pre-compiled and stored on RVM servers ( rvm.io ). These binary rubies will be used by default, if available for your system's platform, when the install action is run. This will greatly speed up the installation of rubies, especially on very slow machines (like Raspberry Pi…
