After completing the tasks discussed in Chapter 1, Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Zero, you'll have a working Raspberry Pi Zero that is running a version of Linux called Raspbian. So, power up your Raspberry Pi Zero and log in using a valid username and password. If you are going to log in remotely through SSH or vncserver, go ahead and establish the connection now. First, you'll take a quick tour of Linux. This will not be extensive, but you will just walk through some of the basic commands.
