[ubuntu-us-mi] remote support

[Arnaud Soyez]

Also if you are familiar with terminal/ssh, you can install
openssh-server.

Make sure that:
 - you have an admin user on the remote machine
 - you configure the ssh server to allow only the above user to log-in
   through ssh (AllowUsers I think, in /etc/ssh/sshd_config)
 - as previously said, you open a port on the router.

And I confirm that it's really hot today...
