Raspbian

The Raspbian OS can be installed on SD flash card from Raspbian web site. Free software Win32 Disk Imager can be used to install Raspbian image on SD flash card. I used 8GB SD flash card. After writing image to SD card create empty file with name ssh and copy it to the root of the SD card. This will allow to login to Raspberry Pi using SSH.

After inserting SD card and switching power on I connected to the Raspberry Pi 3 using Putty and started configuration utility:

sudo raspi-config

I used the following menu items from the raspi-config program:

• Expanded Filesystem (1) so that the whole space on the SD flash card would be available.
• To improve the system security do change the default password (2)
• Changed Boot options (3) for booting to console with autologin rather than to the desktop which is default option.
• Set 'Wait for Network at Boot' (4) to Yes.
• Changed timezone settings (5)
