Added:

It is not likely you will ever use a direct keyboard with this machine
(as opposed to getting to it with ssh). But just in case, you might
want to set the keyboard type.  Raspbian defaults to a "Generic
105-key (Intl) PC" rather than US keyboard layout.  If you are not
expecting this, the differenced (for example, " and @ being swapped)
can trip you up.
