How to install Raspbian Wheezy to SD Card for Raspberry-pi using Debian Machine

Raspberry-pi is a community product for System On Chip (SOC). It's uses ARM Processor with low power usage. We can say, it's absolutely green computing. Unfortunately, the performance was poor, may be we can find more powerful 4, 6 or 8 core ARM with low power usage. 
This is how I install raspbian on raspberry-pi:
  1. Download raspbian form official site http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/
  2. From Debian open terminal as a root privilage
  3. If you dont't have image writer to SD-Card, install this pacakge first # apt-get install dcfldd
  4. Insert your SD-Card and find out where it's mounted by your Debian
    # dmesg
    [  995.384415] mmc0: new high speed SDHC card at address aaaa
    [  995.384943] mmcblk0: mmc0:aaaa SU08G 7.40 GiB
    [  995.390744]  mmcblk0: p1
  5. Unmount SD Card
    # umount /dev/mmcblk0
    umount: /dev/mmcblk0: not mounted
  6. Copy your Raspbian image into SD Card
    # dcfldd bs=4M if=[folder_input_file]/2013-09-25-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
  7. Make sure the SD-Card is writen properly
    # sync

Note:
Copying image may take a long time, it's size up to 2.96Gigabyte
