Back it up!
I have been warned with the raspberry pi memory cards can occasionaly become corrupt and be unrecoverable so back the card up!
Why you ask? With things like the dv mega and the dv4 mini they take some time to tune the software and gert it right and have the memory card fail you loose all the software and operateing system and you will have to start again!
You can also make a mess of adjusting the settings on the system and maybe not be able to start the pi again!
The best thing to back up the card before you do anything and keep it somewhere safe, I recomend Win32 disk imager by sourceforge.net it's free to use but be warned you can write over your image you want to back up and loose it all so pay attention!

VNC Viewer
In my house its not possible to use the telly for my raspberry pi so i
need another way to operate it and i was advised to download this app
so i can operate my raspberry pi from a mobile device or my laptop from
off my wifi
you need to set your pi with a fixed ip address for this to work then install the app on the equipment you want to run it from (ie PC, ipad, android)
in the vnc server you input the fixed ip address for the pi and encryption is let vnc server choose and press connect
it will ask you for the password and with the pi its raspberry unless you change it
and away you go you should have a remote connection to your pi, it wont let me screen shot it to show you. but it will allow you to work your pi from vnc viewer.
you can also connect it to any PC or smart product so you can leave the telly free to be used by the family
