Notes on my Raspberry Pi server config

Notes on my Raspberry Pi server config

This describes how I installed and configured my Raspberry Pi model B (512MB).

The Pi is mainly used as SSH jump host, IRC client, Git server, backup fileserver, etc. It doesn't need stellar performance, it just has to be cheap, low in power usage, and secure.
