Do you ever get stuck on something at work and wish you had access to your machine at home? I do, so I did something about it, I opened a SSH (Secure Shell) port on my Sparcstation 5 so I could log in securely.
At work we primarily use Windows, though we do have quite a few Linux boxes. For reasons of support and compatibility I've been told to stick with Windows on my primary box. (Which also shares (samba anyone) a printer). Eventually I probably will move to an all Linux box, but I have to prove it can be completely compatible, and I'm busy enough with other details to get everything working.
It may seem useless to have a shell at work, but if you can't install software at work, or need to use software like figlet, a program that creates neat ascii fonts, SSH comes in real handy.
