I'd like to have a Linux box at home and have a handheld gateway
device, such as a PalmPilot, that could get me to a shell over the
net. I'm a big fan of the NC concept, as long as I get to run my own
server and caching is used wherever possible to maintain the illusion
that the network is more reliable than it really is. I want every
device I own to be a gateway into my primary machine.
