Which brings up a fun question.  What default timezone do you guys
want? Or is "utc" generic enough?


I think UTC would be best, but there should be clear instructions for
how to
change it.

Most users (like me) are not Linux experts and don't know how to do
many of
these basic things. I though /etc/timezone seemed like the perfect
place to
make this change, but it turns out that was wrong. Google led me to
tzselect
which also looked promising, but again it was wrong.

So then, here's a question for you. Where do you want to see those
type of faq's listed?

I can pretty much dump them anywhere, but the hard question is where...

motd or the banner for ssh, together with an instruction to use rm to
get rid of the message.

Listing those basic steps there would get rid of thousands question from
people using broken, old and/or outdated instructions belonging to some
broken/old and/or outdated images.

And if some gui is supported, open an editor like gvim or similiar to show those instructions gui-users too (by using some autoexec mechanism the gui in question offers).

Anything else than in-image-instructions which people will see when they start exploring the board doesn't help as history has shown.
