Hi Greg,
There is a quite informative howto from Adafruit for using a console
cable on
https://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/adafruits-raspberry-pi-lesson-5-using-a-console-cable.pdf
which is agnostic to which distribution you use. But the other end is
usb not a 9 pins serial cable if you need that you can add a serial port
to the Pi with this instruction

Hope this helps!

I was planning to get a serial cable for the pi, so I can do
console=ttyS0,115200 to be able to interact with it from boot to shutdown,
but saw no mention anywhere of being able to do this, so I probably
won't get the cable. Being blind, I have no use for a screen, and see
little point to having a keyboard with no output. So whatever
distribution I would use needs to be light, text-console-based, and
provide a ready to login ssh server once I put the sd card into the
pi, and plug it in. Any comments or suggestions would be
appreciated. I will also be needing another wired usb network
card. So, if anyone can suggest one which you know is supported by linux, that
would be great too if the list moderators will allow it. Unfortunately
the product listings don't list the chipset a given card uses. I'll be
shopping at newegg.com. Thanks in advance.
Greg
