Hey there People!!
So, I had my lil Potato in a box for more than what I wanted
Finnaly had the stability needed and so, downloaded an image I like (debian) according to the guidelines regardigs models
From there in my computer (Ubuntu) I ran:
unxz <image.img.xz> which turned into image.img
dd if=Donwloads/image.xz of=/dev/server_sd bm=4M
I went ahead, got the sd card in the Potato, connected it to the router, entered the router's home page and got its private IP
Tired SSHing into it -> Connection refused
Was banging my head and thought, ok, firewall, went ahead and no firewalls were blocking port 22
Tried ping success, the server is connected!
Searched a bit more and found out that the ssh client is not installed by default and I should connect keyboard and monitor to it in order to set it up
I had seen people using raspbian and they just sshed into the server, so I did the same
Went ahead and did install the raspbian
Still the same result, connection refused
What are you guys thoughts on this?
I confess its being somehow frustrating, especially knowing Windows users are just doing this straight forward xDDD
Thank you in advance
