Networked Ultimaker with Raspberry Pi (on linux)

 I got my Raspberry Pi yesterday! Installation of the provided Debian image is a breeze (just make sure you have an SD card and a micro-USB cable lying around). And I am happily playing with it right now. I didn’t have a real Plan to use it yet, so in the meantime I’m using it to control my Ultimaker over a network; Due to physical constraints, I have my printer in the same room as my main desktop system, but out of reach for any sane USB cable.
