I wouldn't recommend just unplugging it. I have corrupted more than one RPi sd card this way. Do the latter, it will save you a lot of time in the long run, especially after you spend all the time to download software and set it up -- do you really want to do that again.

This is a fun post. I've been using both technologies recently -- I'm thinking of ways I could practically apply this...hmmm

And you are good to go, worth it regardless of how you shut down.
