Hi,
Just buy a model B or B+, write the Raspbian image to an SD / micro SD
card, put it in the pi & turn it on. After a while, assuming you have
ethernet connected, use your rooter to determin the ip that it's been
given & just SSH to it - user:pi & password:raspberry
Once you have access, I would expand the file system using
raspi-config then update the firmware using rpi-update. Finally
remember to do an apt-get update & an apt-get upgrade to make sure
everything's up to date. You will have to sudo for everything & by
default root is locked down. If you really want propper root then type
sudo passwd.
Cheers,
Ben.

Hi,
I use one as a sandbox; I don't connect anything to it, it just runs Linux and I swap out the cards for different projects. Not what it is really meant for, as I don't use the IO connector, but it works fine.
Use Raspbian with the images and not the SD card from raspberrypi.org as that one has a graphical install part which hampers SSH access on first boot.
Andrew.

Hello all,
I would like to get started with Raspberry Pi. Can anyone give me pointers on how to get started and what I should look for in a Raspberry Pi device?
Thanks,
Greg B.
