Abstract
Remote system administration using SSH is second nature to many sysadmins, but can be complicated on home systems with a multitude of connection and firewall issues that are highly variable. Additionally helping out a remote non-technical user involves interacting with their desktop. The talk is based on years of supporting family members at long distance and and includes a demonstration of the techniques described.
Colophon
Presentation will be made from a recycled Dell Latitude running Debian GNU/Linux and the KDE desktop. The presentation software is LibreOffice and the typeface is from the Adobe SourceSans and Source Code families. The demonstration uses Oracle VirtualBox. Notes and slides will be available after the talk directly from the author in PDF format and will also be distributed to the LUG.
