I figured either:
* it's running a GUI, in which case one can use x2x, VNC,
x2vnc, Synergy, or some combination thereof (depending on
what OS the _other_ computer is running, and how many
monitors are available) and just connect to the raspberry pi
over the network; or:
* it's not running a GUI, in which case one can use a serial
cable (and a terminal window on the other computer).
If the raspberry pi is not even running an OS, that'd presumably fit
into my "not running a GUI" category; and I'd sort-of expect someone
who's "getting hardware-trained" or "wants to write an OS from scratch"
to get experience using a serial console anyway.
