Incidentally, given that G4s haven't received security updates to their operating system in a long while at this point, seeing the results of a telnet/SSH Internet Productivity Challenge would be particularly interesting. SDF is a free resource, and it's usually not hard to get a shell account on a friend's linux system, or a cheap VPS slice.

There was a time when I was doing most of my Internet productivity on a linux system I accessed via SSH, including almost all of my e-mail (several accounts) and a lot of writing, as well as twitter/facebook. It worked out really well when I was using my HTC Touch Pro2, which has an excellent keyboard but not too terribly much else. It also worked extremely well because i could keep my "internet" stuff (like IRC chats and e-mail) running while I hauled my laptop from class to class or used school machines.
