Look Ma! no keyboard, no mouse, no display...

While booting a RPi you usually attach a keyboard/mouse and display (i.e. via the HDMI connector). But what if you don't have such peripherals at hand? or you just want to run a "headless" server?
A Raspberry Pi can be remotely controlled (and even powered) via a console cable. I decided to go with a USB-to-TTL adapter with allow to power the RPi from the USB port.

You can follow this lesson from Adafruit for a complete guide about this topic.
