Connected and Mobile Ready

In addition to the Unity Desktop I'm using with Forex trades. I've also coupled that with my Android devices: my Galaxy phone and Android Tablet which I really love having away from the desktop. What you see on your Android is basically what you see on your Ubuntu desktop. With a good Internet connection, navigating through the desktop is smooth and you select and click the desktop options with a touch, just as with other Apps on your device. It works very well.

I've successfully got VNC and SSH connected yesterday with Ubuntu server. I used Connectbot on the Android tablet, and what SSH does is logs you in to Ubuntu securely. You then redirect the port to a local port. When connecting with VNC, instead of traffic directly returning to the Android unencrypted as normal. The redirected local signal created by the SSH port forwarding sends the data back in an SSH encrypted format. No noticeable change in speed and performance. Just another layer of security is added so the hacks trying to get in between your traffic has another puzzle to figure out if they try to steal your data. Nothing is 100%, but you can feel a little more confident with SSH and its encryption. SSH has been around a long time. I used to just use Telnet to log into remote Unix servers, but why not use the tride and true SSH technology when you can do the same thing with even better security.
