The basic idea...

"The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing...
...The Open Source pages exist to make this case to the commercial world."    - Introduction to Open Source - www.opensource.org

* ConnectBot: SSH & Mosh client

market download Take your remote terminal with you. ConnectBot lets you access your Linux servers, Raspberry Pi, and remote development machines from Android using SSH or Mosh.
