Oh, and at least one gotcha. Using barefs, you'll either need a serial debug cable, or have the ability, and know how to setup, and use g_serial. Simply because openssh-server is not installed. So attempts to ssh in will fail.
Anyway, the very first thing one would need to do once they gain access to a terminal is to apt-get install openssh-server.
