Posted by kdawson on from the extremely-mobile-sysadmins dept.

jfischet writes "Back in 2005 a Slashdot user asked this question and the responses were helpful — but I'd like to ask again to see what has changed in three years. I'd like to know what this community thinks is the best choice of smartphone for remotely administering Linux/UNIX boxes via SSH."

    The really annoying thing is, it would probably be great for writing with a stylus, but that does not (last I checked) work on an iPhone. The last idiot who flicked me the iFinger got it cut off and now I have the perfect stylus. I had to drive a nail through the bone to keep it straight, but once the blood dried up there is almost no smell at all.

    I love this country no one can agree on anything so nothing ever really gets done properly, and it takes 5 tires to get it right.

    I always wondered why that extra tire was in my trunk.

    I kid. You're right of course. Sadhat.
