I was messing around with SSH last night and trying to get it to work on an android phone. Didn't have much success. I'm really just looking for a way to monitor the rig remotely. Is there a way to set up SSH to just view the screen, not make changes, from an android phone?
I think Teamviewer and/or VNC functionality would be useful in v0016, OP. That would help out people like slackert that want to monitor their rigs via smartphone.
I had Teamviewer installed on v0014, but it won't install on v0015. I tried VNC on v0015 but receive a security error on the client end when trying to connect (need SSL libs installed maybe?).
At this point you've got 15 GB worth of free space to work with IMO - it seems like most 16GB drives end up being just shy of the total size of the image. Might as well consider 32GB drives to be the standard and put some more useful stuff on the image! Just a suggestion.
The problem with going from a rig to your phone via SSH is unless your phone is connected via Wifi (or you have a custom networking setup) you have no way of resolving the NAT properly.
I can install teamviewer and the ubuntu generic VNC application for the next version.

I believe those are already be installed; might need to be updated or there might be a failed repo update that needs to be cleared before you can install anything (this is the most likely).

As a lot of members have had problems with various 16gb USB keys this would solve that problem; although I think I can cut down the size more and ensure it will work with all (claimed) 16gb drives.
The main reason I don't want to switch to 32 is many users already have 16gb USBs and switching to 32 would force them to buy another USB key.
I will start recommending only 32gb drives from now on.
