If you did this right, you should now be able to use your Pi as a computer.
In addition, now that SSH is installed, you can access your computer from any terminal, simply by typing "ssh pi@"inet addr"".

Now, if you want, you could disconnect the keyboard, mouse, and HDMI cable, allowing you to run it "headless" from another computer.
