Imagine you're working or chillin' on your comfy couch and want to take a break and watch a video on the big screen on your desk or on your computer connected TV, but you want to use network technology to switch it on instead of getting up. Than what I'm concerned, this is the easiest way.

Mobile access to your server is not only cool, it comes in handy in a lot of situations. With SSH access from your mobile phone, you can check your emails, logs, box status, irssi, torrents, execute updates, reboot and lots of other things, all on the go. In this short tutorial I will explain how to access and administer a Ubuntu (and any Debian based) server with a not so recent Mobile phone. For this to work, you will need a java supporting mobile device with GPRS enabled (Midp). You will have to install a .jar file of MidpSSH on the device (which you will have to download to your mobile) and install additional ncurses terminal definitions on the server.
